The body isn't the standard "soprano" or "concert" size, but features a Florentine cutaway designed for playability in high positions. The bracing inside the body has been carefully considered, with the height, width, shape, and placement all meticulously planned using guitar-making knowledge. The neck scale is set to a length that won't be difficult during solo performances. The ukulele is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the easiest instrument in the world" and can be played by people of all ages and genders. Purchased from a ukulele specialty store in Fukuoka. I believe it was about 6 years ago. I don't know the details very well. I have many ukuleles, exceeding the level of a hobby, so I'm gradually organizing them. Now, it comes with a cover. The cover may not be the one pictured. It has been used several times, so there are scratches and holes from use. The headstock has been tied with a string for storage. There are no issues with its use. Please understand that this is a used item. Purchase price was around 69,800 yen. There are no certificates, etc. Shipping includes only the ukulele body and the ukulele cover.
