Tsugaru Shamisen Natural Material Bamboo Arch Bridge 2-bu 2-rin

Selling as part of decluttering.

This bridge is made from bamboo dried for ten years and then fired, which increases its hardness and density. The natural cracks in the wood have been preserved and incorporated into the design.
It is expected to produce delicate sounds that leverage the natural characteristics of the material. The string grooves are intentionally made slightly shallow to enhance resonance.

The arched shape allows the entire bridge to vibrate, transmitting sound effectively to the skin. This design promotes better resonance for the second string and easier sympathetic vibration among all three strings.
It is ideal for acoustic playing without amplification.

Perfect for easily playing at higher tunings.
