For Ajihei-sama

This is a dedicated product.

I purchased this new in 2019 after it was selected by a professional musician at Central Musical Instruments.

A few years ago, I replaced almost all of the original skin pads with new ones. Since then, I have continued to replace pads as they reached the end of their lifespan. Some pads on the upper joint, which tend to accumulate water, have been replaced with more durable leather pads.
The pad above the F# key (below the A key) tends to accumulate water, and the original skin pad has a short lifespan. To make it last longer, it has been replaced with a more durable cork pad.

Therefore, the pads should still last for a long time.

Also, my hands are small, and the original thumb rest position put a strain on my right hand. Therefore, I had the thumb rest position re-drilled slightly higher than the original R13 at a workshop in Tokyo.

The R13 thumb rest itself is adjustable in length, so it is easy for anyone, even those with small hands, to play.

Regarding the thumb rest, please note that I have personally attached cork to reduce the strain on your thumb.

I have had this instrument regularly adjusted since I purchased it. The most recent adjustment was within the last six months at a workshop, where cleaning was also performed to the best of their ability. While there are signs of use, there are no noticeable discolorations or stains.
The keys have also been polished and are in beautiful condition, ready to be played immediately.

There are no cracks or major repair history. I have cherished this instrument as a musical companion, but I am selling it because I have acquired a new clarinet and wish to pass it on to the next user.

No returns or exchanges will be accepted.
As this is a used item, please consider it after understanding the condition described above.
