I purchased this new, but have only used it a few times. How about it for someone who wants to start playing the Taishogoto? I think it's in very good condition. This is a set including the Taishogoto itself and a dedicated case. Operation has been confirmed, and it produces sound well. There are some minor scratches, but they do not affect the performance. It is also recommended for beginners to practice with. It comes with a hard case. Please take a look at the photos for the condition. Also, please ask any questions you may have.
