Suzuki - Taishogoto (Taisho Harp, Nagoya Harp) 大正琴, named "Dune" - - Harfa - Japonia (Bez ceny minimalnej )

This is a TAISHO KOTO with five strings, made by Suzuki. It is a soprano Taishogoto.

The term Taishōgoto in English is typically "Taishogoto," "Taishokoto," "Taisho harp," or "Nagoya harp." It’s a Japanese stringed musical instrument that combines elements of a keyboard and a zither. Since we live in Nagoya, we’re happy to introduce the Nagoya harp.

Suzuki is a well-known and respected manufacturer of Taishogoto, praised for its high-quality craftsmanship and reliability. Their instruments are trusted by both beginners and professionals alike for their excellent sound and durability.

The uniqueness of this instrument is best understood by watching it being played in a video.
