Thank you for publishing these instructions online. I recently bought a sanshin and i am learning how to play it but now i want to have my grandson make his own sanshin so he will take an interest in learning how to play the instrument we make together. Do you know if there is an english translation of the directions available? Again, thank you for this site.

Wonderful, when my last trip to Okinawa 3 years ago, my Okinawan families got together and they gave us welcome back party and my step father was playing Sanshin, we had so much fun singing and dancing. I’ve always wanted play Sanshin, but I haven’t gotten the chance to buy one yet, let me know how your new Sanshin is.
