[Repair/Modification History/Replaced Parts/Appearance Condition, etc.]
※As this is a used/vintage item, the information provided is based on our inspection.
Please understand this in advance.
-Its appearance truly evokes the feeling of an artistic piece. While it shows crack repairs and numerous scratches and dents, considering it's over 120 years old, it's in remarkably good condition.
-There is a crack repair on the body top, centered under the bridge.
- A crack is present directly above the center of the soundhole. However, due to the placement of the bracing, there are no structural concerns.
- Chipping is visible between the bridge pins (4th, 5th, and 6th strings). Please rest assured, this does not affect tuning or structural integrity.
- Softening of the lacquer is visible on the lower right side of the body.
- Evidence of a neck reset can be seen on the neck heel.
[Playing Condition]
- Sound is clear with no muffled notes or buzzing; playing condition is excellent.

- Saddle relief: Approximately 0.5mm to 1.0mm
