"After the owner used it for more than ten years, he decided to put an end to his performance activities and carefully stored it. The quality of the wood is overwhelmingly better than the old one, and when we played it after it was refurbished, we were able to reconfirm the gorgeous and profound sound that is unique to festivals. We hope that it will be used in new performance stages."

It had been used as a work tool, so it had some signs of wear and tear, but I also felt strongly that it had supported many great performances at a number of venues. After the maintenance, it had a bright and solid sound, and it had a quality that belied the fact that it was a second-hand item."
