This is a 2002 work by Haruhei Nishino, who established the Nishino Haruhei brand in 1969 after studying under Tsunesaburo Kurosawa, the founder of Kurosawa Musical Instruments and a guitar maker. He has been producing high-quality handmade instruments ever since. This ukulele is a concert size model, with a string length of approximately 385mm and a total length of approximately 605mm. It uses a spruce top and rosewood sides & back, similar to a guitar, and has the same specifications as the current model NR-3 (new price: 330,000 yen, tax included). Of course, the body is made entirely of solid wood. Compared to Hawaiian koa ukuleles, it has a lustrous and resilient sound, and produces a beautiful sound with stable sustain. When purchased, a sticker with the previous owner's name was affixed to the back of the headstock, but I have carefully removed it as much as possible. There are some paint damages and simple touch-up marks, but there are no defects such as cracks, and it is stable and in good condition. There are no signs of the bridge or bracing coming off, and the neck, frets, and nut are also in good condition. The string height is approximately 2.1mm on the 1st string side and 2.5mm on the 4th string side, making it easy to play and producing a good sound. There are no issues such as buzzing. The pegs function well and allow for smooth tuning. It has been restrung with new strings and has been cleaned. A high-quality, lifetime-class concert ukulele. We hope you will consider it. Accessories: Hard case (with signs of use, with a key)
