TOMBO Deluxe UNICA Formal 1844 This is a TOMBO chromatic harmonica. It's over 30 years old, so it has some clouding and scratches, but it produces a beautiful, clear tone that melts in your ears. It was a common instrument in the Showa and early Heisei eras, but it's becoming a retro and valuable model now, so I'll sell it to someone who is satisfied with the price and contents. It probably needs maintenance, but it's a genuine domestic product, so if you take good care of it, it's a harmonica that can still be played. The type is a chromatic harmonica, also known as a slide harmonica. Normally, it plays the same notes as the white keys on a piano, and when you press the button, it plays a semitone higher (the black keys on a piano). With this operation of pushing and pulling the lever that sticks out to the side, it's designed to be able to play songs in any key, and depending on the playing technique, it's an interesting harmonica that can produce subtle expressions of melody and a rich variety of tones. It's designed to allow for overwhelmingly more freedom of performance than other types of harmonicas, so it's a very convenient harmonica to have, even just one, if you want to play jazz, classical music, or nostalgic melodies. A harmonica is an instrument where it's difficult to produce the correct notes by following the scale when you're not used to it, but this is a normal-layout chromatic harmonica with notes arranged in scale order. It can be used by beginners to advanced players with advanced techniques. It's characterized by its sweet tone, and its range has a full three octaves. The box is included, so there are some minor scratches, but no fatal warping or dents are visible. As a point of caution, please understand that it is a product that is at least 30 years old. The box has scratches and sun damage due to the passage of time, so please be careful if you are sensitive. Personal information was written on the back of the box, so I have blacked it out with a marker. The mouthpiece will be disinfected, and it will be sent anonymously in a compact package so as not to crush the box. Please be sure to check my profile for the shipping date. Also, I am not a professional seller, so I will use recycled materials from home for cushioning. I will also include a special gift for those who purchase it, with a feeling of gratitude. #Harmonica #ChromaticHarmonica #SlideHarmonica #TOMBO #Tombo #Showa #Heisei #Retro
