Tsugaru Longcase | black with red velvet

A classic beauty! You simply can’t go wrong with this timeless color combo. This longcase is nice and sturdy and will fiercely protect your shamisen! It has extra metal feet on the short side to give the case a solid base to stand upright and a handle on the top short end for easy maneuvering in the upright positon. As it’s pre-owned, there’s some small nicks in the outer shell – see photos. On the inside center there’s an compartment for your accessoires such as bachi, cleaning cloth and whatever else you might need. There’s a discount on this case because one of the four clasps is a little lose – worry not, the others work just fine and it closes safely. The lining has a dark discoloration at the top part – looks to me like someone spilled water in it? It doesn’t look too dramatic though.

A hardcase like this is the perfect companion for your shamisen, no matter what size. 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 longcase closes with 4 clasps. Keys are included.
