Tsugaru Longcase | black with red velvet

A classic beauty! You simply can’t go wrong with this timeless color combo. This longcase has extra sturdy metal fittings. It’s from the Japanese manufacturer “Takabe”. It has extra metal feet on the short side to give the case a solid base to stand upright. As it’s pre-owned, there’s some small nicks in the outer shell – see photos. On the inside center there’s an extra large compartment for your music scores, bachi, cleaning cloth and whatever else you might need.

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 safely closes with 3 clasps. Keys not included.
