After being used for about 5 years after purchase, it was stored away for 3 years, during which time some dirt and peeling appeared on the lacquer finish of the keys and key guards. It was used with care until it was stored, so there are no major dents as far as I can see. The included hard case is still in good condition. Cleaning, complete pad replacement, and adjustment have been completed, and cork has been inserted to secure the keys. As an instrument, it is still in a condition that can be used for a long time, so I would appreciate it if someone who will take good care of it would purchase it. Returns and refunds are not accepted.
