I purchased this piccolo in February 2025 from this site♪ The following is a description of the product based on the previous owner's comments. This is a TAKEZAWA piccolo "250," which is rarely seen! It's a handmade, domestically-made piccolo. The head joint has a lip plate-like shape that makes it easy to play, and it's thicker than a typical piccolo. The case shows some signs of aging. Retail price: 310,000 yen 【Product Condition】 While there is some dullness due to age, there is no critical damage, and it's still a fully functional piccolo. I have confirmed that it produces sound. I had it adjusted and the pads replaced last year, and I used it several times. After that, I stored it carefully in its case. I haven't had it adjusted for this sale, so please consider having it adjusted before use. The tone is wonderfully resonant, with the soft, transparent sound that is a 竹澤 (Takezawa) tradition, earning the trust of players both domestically and internationally. The sound connects well, and it's possible to play with stable intonation from the low to high registers. It's easy to change the tone and has a sense of color. It blends well with other instruments while still resonating well, producing the traditional Takezawa sound. It's designed to be easy for beginners to play. Accessories include a hard case and a rod, which are complete. Please check the photos carefully and understand that this is a used item before purchasing. That's what the previous owner said. The photos of this piccolo were taken by me. The tone is gentle and wonderful, but I found it difficult to play well, as I have little experience with the piccolo, so I'm putting it up for sale with much hesitation. Thank you very much.
