Purchased in 1971. My father, who has been involved with Hawaiian music since his student days, has announced his retirement and passed this on to me. It's a snare drum that's meant to be "beaten," but because of its use in Hawaiian music, it doesn't require a heavy beat. Also, due to the fact that it wasn't used much on stage and was carefully maintained, it retains an unbelievably beautiful appearance, considering it's over half a century old. (There is one small scratch... video 15) In preparation for listing, I researched the product conditions at major online retailers like A.R.Y, large city musical instrument stores, and import agencies. Most of the items I found had rust, dents, and scratches due to age, and were priced between 50,000 and 130,000 yen. The manufacturer, Rogers, closed down after moving its production base from the United States to Taiwan. This item is believed to be one of the highest-quality existing examples on the market. Therefore, I hesitated to sell it, but I decided to list it so that someone who loves Rogers can use it. An inexpensive vinyl case (image 17) is included, and a snare stand (video 16) will be provided if desired. As this is a high-value item, please review the videos carefully. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments section. To prevent issues such as item substitution, I will refrain from transactions with those who have not completed identity verification. Also, returns are not accepted, so please consider purchasing with this in mind. ★★Due to my shy personality, I am not good at "communication." Therefore, I cannot respond to price negotiations.★★★ Thank you for looking.
