There are no strings for 18 strings. Since the missing strings are mostly steel (thin) strings, I think the cost of the strings would be around 15,000 yen. There was some rust on the part of the strings that contacted the bridge, so I removed it by lightly sanding it. There are no cracks, splits, warps, or distortions in the body. There is a pin that is a little loose. Pins for the Sansyo Lyre are made with the same diameter but slightly longer, so replacing the loose pins with those should make them more stable as they can be inserted deeper. A case and wrench are included.
