Sanshin Making Pictures

The Snake Skin is soaked in water then stretched and dried over a frame and vise. The Skin is the fitted to the body called the Dou of the Sanshin. See Photos:

Below are some pictures of our popular Imitation Snake Skin Sanshin:

Due to Strict U.S. Import Laws is is technically illegal to bring a real Snake Skin Sanshin into the United States. Although I have personally never heard of any Sanshin Players getting in trouble for travelling with their Sanshin. Many Players choose to use the Imitation Snakeskin Sanshin . This Sanshin is also the primary Sanshin that is used in the United States. Our Imitation Snakeskin Sanshin are the highest quality available and they are each individually handcrafted by our Sanshin Makers utilizing the exact same construction methods as a real snake skin model. You may find Artificial or Imitation Snakeskin Sanshin on the internet, but beware many are not made in Okinawa or they are machine made with inferior materials! Insist on only the best hand crafted Sanshin from The Sanshin Shop.
