The new retail price is 49,000 yen. Made carefully in a Japanese factory at this price, this ukulele is highly recommended for those who are just starting out or looking for a second instrument. This is a long-neck model with a 14-fret joint and 19 frets, providing a wide range of notes, allowing you to play various songs even on a solo ukulele. It's a popular model equipped with geared tuners for smooth tuning. Many beginners find them easier to use and more reliable than straight tuners. The body is made of solid mahogany, making it a high-end model. It's amazing to have a solid wood body at this price. It resonates more fully than plywood and produces a warm, sweet tone that sounds great. The notes have good sustain and sound beautiful when playing melodies. The wood grain on the neck is also very beautiful and soothing, see photos. Compared to the popular, similarly made-in-Japan Famous ukuleles, this one has a slightly thicker neck, providing a good grip and making it easier to hold chords. Even though it's thicker, it's still a ukulele, so you don't have to worry about it being difficult to play or about the size of your hands. Being a recent model, it's in very good condition for a used item. There are some minor scratches, but they are barely noticeable unless you hold it up to the light. The bridge is not lifting, and the geared tuners function properly, providing stable tuning. As it is a used item, there may be some unnoticed scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about this. The frets and fingerboard have been cleaned, so they are in very good condition and should not require moisturizing for a while. Tuner included, about 2,000 yen. Steady soft case with cushioning included, about 3,000 yen. With over 20 years of experience playing instruments, feel free to consult with me if you have any questions.
