Guitar Strap Connection Kit for Shamisen

Product Description:

This innovative connection kit allows you to safely attach a guitar strap to your shamisen without causing any damage to the instrument. Unlike traditional shoulder cords that require tying ropes around the tuning pegs (potentially damaging the headstock), this kit provides a secure, non-invasive solution for supporting your shamisen during performance.

Key Features:

• Protects your shamisen from damage - no need to tie around delicate parts
• Secure attachment points ensure stability during playing
• Compatible with any standard guitar strap (strap not included)
• Easy to install and remove
• Durable construction for long-term use

Safe Attachment Points:

• Lower attachment: Connects at the Neo (sound hole cord) area - a reinforced section designed to handle tension
• Upper attachment: Connects at the junction between the body and neck - a structurally strong point on the instrument

Advantages Over Traditional Methods:

Traditional shoulder cords often require tying around the string pegs (Itokura), which can lead to instrument damage over time. This connection kit eliminates that risk by utilizing stronger, more appropriate attachment points on the shamisen body.

Customization:

Because this kit is compatible with standard guitar straps, you can choose from a wide variety of strap styles, materials, and designs to match your personal preference and playing style. Select a strap with the comfort level and adjustability that works best for you.

What's Included:

• Connection hardware for shamisen
• Installation components for secure attachment
• (Note: Guitar strap sold separately - choose your preferred style)

Ideal For:

• Standing performances requiring instrument support
• Players seeking more comfort during extended practice sessions
• Musicians transitioning from guitar who prefer familiar strap systems
• Anyone wanting to protect their shamisen from traditional cord damage

Compatibility:

Works with Tsugaru shamisen and other standard shamisen types. Compatible with any guitar strap featuring standard strap button holes.

Installation Note:

Simple attachment process that doesn't require modifications to your shamisen. Reversible installation allows you to remove the kit when not needed.
