This allows you to pack the instrument more compactly, making it easier to transport. On flights, a long case can be cumbersome, and even on trains or in cars, a small, compact case is often more practical. Many beginners feel hesitant to disassemble their instrument. If something sticks or resists, it makes the process even more intimidating. Approached correctly, though, there\u2019s no need to worry\u2014the instrument can be safely transported without damage.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Loosening the Strings<\/h1>\n

Before taking the neck apart, the strings need to be loosened. Luckily, you don\u2019t need to unwind them from the tuning pegs (Itomaki). Instead, detach the Neo along with its attached strings from the Nakagosaki, which protrudes from the bottom of the Dou. Loosen the Itomaki slightly until the strings feel very relaxed. Now the Neo can be easily pulled off the Nakagosaki. <\/p>\n

The strings are then wound around the pegs at the Tenjin. There are various proven winding patterns that work well\u2014crossed or just around is ultimately fine. The larger the loops, the better. The winding doesn\u2019t need to be tight; it\u2019s just about storing the strings neatly and out of the way. Finally, the Neo can be secured. If you have an Azuma Sawari, you can attach the Neo to one of the loops on the screw. If the pegs are very slim, you can loop the Neo over one peg with the thick loop. <\/p>\n

Disassembling the Neck<\/h1>\n

The neck can now be separated into its three pieces. The last piece of the neck (shimozao) usually remains in the d\u014d. The neck is precisely fitted, making the joint very tight and creating slight tension on the skin due to the enclosed air. To maintain this and for practical storage, the last part of the neck is usually left in the body. <\/p>\n

The connections between the three neck pieces are made so precisely that they fit firmly, and the transitions are barely noticeable. On older instruments or ones that have been frequently assembled and disassembled, material fatigue may occur at the joints, making them slightly looser and easier to detect by touch. This actually makes disassembly easier. [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Loosening the Joints<\/h2>\n

If the neck joints aren\u2019t very tight, disassembly is easier. Fresh joints may require more patience. Besides age and wear, weather conditions also affect the tightness of the joints, as the wood expands and contracts with climatic changes. <\/p>\n

You can start at the top or bottom joint; the technique is the same. The gentlest way is to hold the lower part of the joint with one hand and tap the opposite side of the joint gently with your palm.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shamisen-zentrale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/schlag-1.png” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”schlag 1″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin=”||2px|||”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”14px” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

After a few taps, you should see the neck pieces start to drift apart slightly. Once a noticeable gap appears, you can try lifting the top piece of the neck. If it doesn\u2019t move yet, continue tapping. Repeat the same process with the other joint. <\/p>\n

Repeat with the other joint.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shamisen-zentrale.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kleiner-Spalt.png” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”small crack<br>” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin=”||2px|||”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”14px” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Special Case: Preparing the D\u014d for Shipping<\/h2>\n

If only the d\u014d is being sent to a specialist for re-skinning, the last part of the neck must be removed. Tapping with your hand usually won\u2019t work here. Instead, there\u2019s a simple trick: hold the d\u014d with one hand and the protruding part of the neck with the other. This works whether the neck is fully assembled or completely disassembled. Using a peg, tap once firmly on a hard surface\u2014the neck should separate from the d\u014d. The process may seem abrupt, but it is the fastest and safest way. In the video<\/a> below, I demonstrate how easy and harmless this process is. To prevent accidents, make sure the d\u014d is secured with one hand so it doesn\u2019t fall and get damaged. <\/p>\n
