All bars are in tune with standard tuning pitches. Soft yarn mallets are preferable. Medium volume at best.

| Stand is sturdy. Resonators detache so that one can fold up the legs for easy transport. Rosewood keys.

| The instrument is in excellent condition. All minor defects in the frame have been repaired, except for two small missing pieces of metal at the ends of the leg pipes. Resonators are in tact and their is no blockage. Keys are in near-perfect condition.

| I love the instrument, but the 2.5 octave range isn't really conducive to professional playing practice. It would be perfect for a beginner/intermediate player.
