Kotone CS7SL body 2. Gig bag 3. Shoulder strap 4. Clip-on tuner 5. Ukulele instruction book Purchased new in April 2025 from a certain online shop. It is sold at Shimamura Music for ¥49,000. It appears to be discontinued, and only natural color is available in store stock. Dark brown, like this item, is very rare and has high collectible value. Used for approximately 5 days. Total playing time is less than 3 hours, making it an extremely beautiful item. Although it is made of solid mahogany, it has beautiful figuring like Hawaiian koa. It is meticulously crafted by Fujigen, the world-renowned manufacturer that also did OEM for Fender guitars. ■ Sound and Customization The strings have been replaced with "Tomoki Suzuki Signature Strings." Compared to standard nylon strings, the sustain of the high notes has dramatically improved. It now has a bright, deep, and resonant sound, similar to a Kamaka HF-1. Strap pins have been added in two locations: the bottom of the body and the heel. This allows for stable playing using a shoulder strap with a two-point suspension. I have been playing the ukulele for 21 years. For 20 years, even with a fundamentally sound playing form, I felt it was restrictive. In my 21st year, I learned the benefits of playing with a shoulder strap from Tomoki Suzuki's YouTube videos. It was an eye-opener, and it's incredibly easy to play. The ukulele's position is stable, making it easy to switch from low chords to high chords. I highly recommend it! While I love the tone, it was a bit too compact for my physique, so I would like to sell it while it is still in beautiful condition. It will be shipped in a gig bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, and then placed in a cardboard box. The instruction book may be rolled up and stored depending on the packing situation. I believe it is a top-quality item, but it is a used instrument that has been handled by someone else. Please consider and purchase only if you are not concerned about this. Thank you for looking. #Fujigen #CS7SL #Cotone #SopranoLongNeck #Kamaka #StrapPin
