Thank you very much for viewing. This reed is made with meticulous attention to detail, using materials like reeds that have been air-dried for one and a half years and smoked for over 10 years, as well as hats, cement, and washi paper. The price is a bit high, but I believe it's worth more... I think you'll understand if you read the reviews from repeat customers and many others. If, by any chance, you are not satisfied, we offer returns and exchanges. So, to all the reed-troubled people across the country, please consider giving it a try. I am confident that you will be satisfied.
