Purchased approximately 35 years ago and used lightly. It has been stored long-term. The bottom of the case is pierced. Overall, the condition isn't bad, but please understand that this is a used item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to condition. I am not familiar with musical instruments, so I cannot answer specialized questions. Thank you for your understanding. *Free shipping only to Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Other regions, Hokkaido, Okinawa, and remote islands, please inquire.
