An authentic vintage Taishogoto. Sometimes called the Nagoya harp, this instrument was developed in the early XX century and uses keys to change the pitch of its strings.
It can be used as intended, but it will also look great as an interior decoration.
The harp has 5 strings. There are two small dials - tone and volume control, with an amp port.
The main body is made of wood, with a top decorated with a visible wood grain. There is a metal cover protecting the stings on the right side.
The keys are heavily oxidized. They work fine.
The harp has been cleaned only superficially. It will require some care.
The case is rigid and lined with yellow fake fur. The metal parts show some oxidation, scratches, and rust. The locks are slightly misaligned. It will require some care. Despite these flaws, the case is still sturdy, and protects the instrument just fine.

***The item will be shipped as a registered airmail. If you agree on receiving the item via a naval mail - a slow type of shipment, taking up to 3 MONTHS to arrive - please contact me via Etsy messages for the lower price. Depending on your location, I can offer a price reduction up to 50USD.
Please note, 3 months is a long time. Tracking of such parcels works up to the point of the item leaving Japan, and then picks up when the parcel reaches the mainland. It is not possible to check where exactly the parcel is, when the cargo travels across the Pacific.
Upon agreeing to such shipment, "parcel arrived late" or similar reasons will not be accepted as a valid ground for cancellation of the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
