A shamisen is an instrument that is similar in some ways to a guitar or a banjo. It has a long, thin neck, which can often be dismantled for easier transportation. The body is covered with a taut skin, and the front has the strings stretched along the instrument. Construction of the shamisen varies according to the music genre it is intended to be used for.
