I bought this a few years ago and used it for a few months, then stored it away. This is a model that came out before the Lumiere instrument. It has a soft tone, and produces sound without stress. Because it's a short barrel, it's also recommended for those whose pitch tends to be flat. Reference price: 41,250 yen ~The following is from the manufacturer's website~ The Lumiere barrel adopts an elegant curve and flowing design. It has a consistent sound from ppp to fff, and provides a sweet sound. This is a new product that we can confidently recommend, possessing both appearance and inner quality.
