Synthetic FiberSen (Advanced Shamisen Skin)

Skin your Shamisen with synthetic Fibersen!

If you wander the grounds of the Hirosaki Tsugaru Shamisen tournament, no doubt you will hear the sweet sounds of Josh Davila practicing Tsugaru Yosare Bushi, rain or shine! Rain or shine? He can play shamisen in the rain? Yes he can, because his shamisen is skinned with synthetic FiberSen!

Up until now, there was only one artificial skin on the shami-market, and it really sounded like plastic. It's benefits were it's durability and animal-friendliness, but the low sound quality just didn't make it a very satisfying experience for most players...

Until now! That's right, a new kind of synthetic skin has been made for shamisen! Synthetic FiberSen can be stretched more than twice as tight as regular plastic skin, bringing out richer tones and sharper twang that players love about natural skin.

Other awesome qualities:
The tone of FiberSen does not degrade! (Typically, natural skin's sound quality drops within 6~12 months) Also, the buzzing sawari effect comes through clearly. And yes, it is durable and waterproof, so never again will you let a light sprinkle ruin your outdoor shamisen training!
