Kotone CS7SL Made by Fujigen, the world-renowned manufacturer. Soprano long neck, gloss finish. Gotoh geared tuners, High-G tuning. Purchased as new old stock from an online shop in April 2025. Shimamura Music sells this model for ¥49,000. It appears to be discontinued, and even if there is stock, only natural colors are available. Dark brown, like the item for sale, is extremely rare. Used for approximately 5 days. Total playing time is less than 3 hours. It is in excellent, like-new condition. The body is solid mahogany, but it has beautiful figuring reminiscent of Hawaiian koa. The craftsmanship is meticulous, as expected from Fujigen, who also did OEM work for Fender guitars. ■ Sound and Customization (Key Features!) The strings have been replaced with "Tomoki Suzuki Signature Strings." Compared to the standard nylon strings, the sustain of the high notes has dramatically improved. It now has a bright, deep, and resonant tone, similar to a Kamaka HF-1. Strap pins have been added in two locations: at the bottom of the body and at the heel. This allows for stable playing using a shoulder strap with a two-point suspension. It is very difficult to play continuously while holding the ukulele under your arm. I have been playing the ukulele for 21 years. For 20 years, I played with a faithful, traditional form. In my 21st year, I learned the benefits of using a shoulder strap from Tomoki Suzuki's YouTube videos. It makes playing incredibly easy. The ukulele's position is stable, making it effortless to switch from low chords to high chords. I highly recommend it! The gig bag shown in the photos is included (No. 17). While I love the tone, it's a bit too compact for my build, so I'm selling it while it's still in pristine condition. I am confident that this is an exceptional instrument, but it has been handled by someone before. Please consider and purchase only if you are not concerned about this. Thank you for looking.
