This popular ukulele, made in Japan with the same reliability as Famous, is a custom series crafted with meticulous detail using the skills of Japanese workshops. It features a "spruce (pine) solid top" known for its excellent sound response and pure tone. This is a special model, so you could say it has the specifications to last a lifetime. The new retail price is 96,000 yen for this high-end custom model, and the production volume is reportedly very low. It's a slightly larger concert size, so it's recommended for adults. In Hawaii, soprano ukuleles are often associated with children, while concert sizes are considered more versatile and suitable for adults. The sides and back of the body use "maple (maple) solid wood," a familiar material in acoustic guitars and various other instruments. Maple is also used for the neck. By using the same wood composition as traditional violins, it produces a lustrous and expansive sound. Furthermore, "maple" is used for the fingerboard and bridge, creating a beautiful, natural wood ukulele with a luxurious feel and a look that will make you swoon, something you can't experience with other ukuleles. Please take a look at the many photos. While inheriting a design similar to friction pegs, the adoption of a planetary gear mechanism allows for smooth tuning. This model was purchased in 2024 and is in very beautiful condition. There is a slight paint unevenness on the back of the body, which some people may be concerned about, so I've included photos. I didn't notice it at all. You can only see it when you hold it up to the light. I had the instrument shop check it over. No bridge lift. Since it is a used item, there may be some unnoticed scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. A soft case is included, which costs around 4,000 yen. It's a sturdy case, so you can carry it with peace of mind. I have over 20 years of experience with musical instruments, so please feel free to consult with me if you have any questions. Shipping will be done with bubble wrap and cardboard packaging. Please note that if there is a discrepancy due to sales on other sites, we apologize. I carefully select and offer items that are in beautiful condition with few scratches, stains, or signs of use. As you can see from the feedback section, people are very pleased with the beautiful condition of the items. Unauthorized reproduction of the product description is prohibited.
