This is a 13-string koto. It is a standard koto with a paulownia soundboard and sudatare (bamboo blind) carving. There are some small marks on the soundboard where the bridges have fallen, but they do not affect the ability to set up the bridges at all. The strings are relatively new and not frayed. This is a koto made of genuine paulownia. It has a beautiful tone. It has been tested for sound. We will include bridges and either cat's feet or a substitute bridge box. While it may be inferior in terms of decorative elements like the縁取り葉 (rim decoration), its tone is comparable for performances and concerts. It comes with bridges, cat's feet or a bridge box, and a cloth cover (yutan). How about using it for practice at home with your koto music club? You can start practicing and playing immediately upon arrival.
