Tsugaru Longcase | blue with red velvet RARE

This pre-owned hardcase is an especially rare model. It has a textured surface that makes it extra grippy and gives it a sleek matte finish. The angled top part sets it apart from the regular square and rounded models. It is Futozao/Tsugaru Shamisen sized, but of course smaller shamisen will fit as well. There’s a small nick on the outer shell and discoloration on the inside lining (see pictures), so I lowered the price – it’s a real bargain. But have a look at the generous inner compartment, too! Enough space to store everything you need!

Not having to take your instrument apart to transport it is a huge game changer, because you’re always ready to whip out your shamisen and play. Keeping your instrument assembled means it practically stays in tune. The hard shell keeps your instrument safe from people, doors and sneaky corners attempting to bump into your shamisen.

The red velvet lining looks super stylish and the extra compartment in the middle will hold your bachi, spare strings, and other accessories you need.
