Made in Japan. The FS-5G is the most popular model from Famous. Retail price is 47,300 yen. It's a standard soprano size, so it's recommended for anyone who wants to start playing. I purchased it at a musical instrument store last year for around 42,000 yen, including a case. The FS-5G is a popular model equipped with geared tuners, and many beginners feel more secure with it than straight tuners because the tuning is stable. Inexpensive overseas-made ukuleles tend to go out of tune easily, which can lead beginners to give up. This is the most basic soprano size ukulele, made with Hawaiian koa, a popular ukulele material. It has a clear, crisp sound, and the build quality and sound are unbelievable for the price. It has 15 frets, so it can handle songs with a wide range. I've taken good care of it, so it's in excellent condition with hardly any signs of use. There may be some minor scratches from use, but they are barely noticeable. I had a musical instrument store check it over before listing it, and they said it's in good condition. Since it's a used item, there may be some unnoticed scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. I have cleaned the frets and fingerboard, so they are a very nice color and should not need moisturizing for a while. A case is included, worth about 2,000 yen. See the images. Many items sold on online shopping sites do not include a case, so you would need to purchase one separately. Shipping will be done with bubble wrap and careful packaging for safety. Please note that this item is also for sale on other sites, so there is a chance it may be sold out. #famous #sopranoukulele #madeinjapan
