Rare Vintage Nikkan Wooden Tenor Recorder Superio Tenor Pipe with Key, Operation Unconfirmed

Product Description:
This is a wooden tenor recorder made by Nikkan (Nippon Gakki), a leading Japanese wind instrument manufacturer.

It features the engraving Superio Tenor Pipe and is characterized by its beautiful wood grain and calm appearance.
The foot joint has a key to facilitate playing lower notes.

Condition of the item:
Exterior: Minor scuffs and small scratches associated with use are visible, but no major cracks or splits are found.
Operation: Sound production has not been tested by actually playing it. It will be sold as-is.
Important Note: The lower joint is quite loose and will come apart if not held. Please consider this item with the understanding that maintenance such as winding thread (thread winding) specifically for recorders or replacing the cork will be necessary.

Accessories:
Recorder body only

Shipping Method:
The item will be carefully packed with cushioning material (bubble wrap) and shipped via RakuRaku Mercari便.

Notes:
This is an old instrument, so it is listed as as-is with the expectation of maintenance.

No claims or returns will be accepted.

Thank you for looking.
