I purchased this previously and used it for several months. It has a unique Playnick tone, and compared to Vandoren, it gives the impression of a richer sound with more resonance. The price has skyrocketed, so it's a good option if you just want to try it out, or for collecting. There is some wear and tear, such as the logo peeling off. As of November 2025, the retail price is 58,520 yen. ~The following is from the manufacturer's website~
