That's actually a Sanshin. Not a Shamisen. Sanshin is kind of like an Okinawan version of the Shamisen. They are usually covered with snake skin (although that one for sale has fake snake skin) whereas a Shamisen other skins. But you can get Sanshin with just a normal skin.

It has more of a twang sound, and is plucked with the nail rather then strummed with a bachi.

You can hear the difference in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0-DdZHf_Y8

Yes they can use those types of skins. But I don't think they have to be. :)

FYI, they make shamisen with synthetic skins now, too (I'm sure the cats and dogs are happy! :D )
BTW, you can get shamisens at Chords Canada, they ship many places around the world.

If its about the tall pillow thing i will accept them because i just found out by my mum that i can get them changed at the post office! :D



but if you do want to buy one of me i am not buying them now, not for ages!....probably a few months...but if you can hold on till then i would gladly trade with you! How would wwe do it?? I would just send you the pillow securely wrapped in a box and you send me the money???
