Condition
Overall very good original condition. A couple of metal rods present with subtle bending, and the irregularity in height is inherent in the design. With minor wear and discoloration to the surface of the base, consistent with the natural aging process of the material. With minor scratches immediately adjacent to the portion of base where the rods are affixed. The piece has a wonderful tone when played.
