□ Product Features
This vintage instrument stands out with its glossy black lacquered bars, unlike current models. With its 30-note configuration, it covers accidentals like sharps and flats, making it suitable for authentic performances and ensemble playing, from classical to popular music.

The bars are made from carefully selected Japanese Linden wood, offering YAMAHA's signature precise tuning and a pleasant, warm tone characteristic of wooden percussion instruments, yet with a solid core. Despite its tabletop size, it is solidly built, making it ideal not only for home practice but also for music therapy and small-scale performances.

□ Product Condition
For this listing, all 30 bars have been played to confirm that they resonate properly without any muffled notes or resonance issues. Externally, there are dings (marks from mallet strikes) and minor surface scratches on the bars from playing (see photos). However, there are no major dents that would affect playability or critical cracks in the wood.
There are minor scuffs on the black lacquer finish due to age, but this does not detract from the charm of this vintage instrument; rather, it enhances its appeal as a well-used tool.

□ Accessories
This item is a set including the xylophone body and 1 pair of mallets as shown in the photos. The mallets have also been tested and are ready for immediate play. A case is not included. To compensate for the absence of a case, this rare discontinued model is being offered at the most affordable price possible.
