This is an AC pipe from "Cantare Ocarina," which is arguably the leading ocarina workshop in Japan. The current production is mainly handled by the second-generation, Kota Hiramoto, and the pieces differ slightly from the first generation's works. This Cantare, a golden-era piece from the first generation, has a rich, full sound (a sense of weight), and its high notes are remarkably clear and resonant. It's a matter of preference, not a matter of which is better or worse. Cantare ocarinas have gradually increased in price, with the 40,000 to 100,000 yen range becoming the standard, making them ocarinas that are not easily affordable. This AC pipe is a solo-specification model that I chose at the workshop, suitable for intermediate players and above (quite a while ago). Considering choosing a charming vintage AC pipe from the first generation is also an option, so please consider it. *Please make payment within 3 days, use Yamato Transport cash on delivery, and promptly confirm receipt.*
