Shipping included, so no price reduction is possible. m(_ _)m Since there is no outer box, it will be wrapped in bubble wrap and sent in a paper bag. From the official website: A 1-octave xylophone made in Japan with a focus on safety. An adorable design that makes the most of the natural texture of wood. It plays a light and accurate tone. Standard price: 13,178 yen (11,980 yen excluding tax) 100% domestic Itaya Maple Itaya maple, also used as a material for guitars and violins. To ensure long-lasting use, all the wood, from the soundboard to the frame, uses domestic Itaya maple, which is durable, beautiful, and has a rustic wood grain. Domestic production by skilled craftsmen The production of xylophones involves many processes, including processing, painting, tuning, assembly, and inspection. All of these processes are carefully finished by skilled craftsmen in domestic factories. Safe, natural paint Using natural paint made mainly from natural ingredients, the beautiful texture of Itaya maple is preserved without losing its natural feel. It is safe for both people and the environment because it does not use chemicals. *As a characteristic of natural paint, there may be an odor (not a chemical irritant) in high-temperature environments such as summer. Please rest assured that there is no problem with safety. Commitment to safety and security In addition to meeting the ST standards, we have also paid attention to every single screw. We avoid using screws as much as possible, and the only screws used to fix the soundboard are tamper-proof screws, designed to prevent easy removal. Also, the included mallets have balls on both ends so that children do not have to worry about poking their throats with the thin handles. Musical instrument toys made by a musical instrument manufacturer Even though it is a toy, it is a xylophone made by a musical instrument manufacturer, so the pitch is accurate. The wood's properties are carefully examined, and it is tuned several times. In addition, musical notes and note names are written on the soundboard to provide a good opportunity to experience music. *Since natural wood is used, the wood may expand and contract due to temperature and humidity, and the pitch may change.
