Star Miyata
28-hole Harmonica
Key of C
Director Mr. T. Miyata
Manufactured by Tokai Gakki Seizo Kaisha, Ltd.
Made in Japan
1940s ! Rare !

Wonderful condition for its age and plays well. These were the best quality made in Japan and built to last ! Sounds really lovely and looks as if it has not been played much at all.
It has 28-holes with an additional row of another 28 underneath tuned slightly out to give a beating tremolo/chorus effect when both rows played together. Very cool !
Light marks/scuffs to the chrome when you look closely in a certain light. Otherwise the box has protected the harmonica very nicely.
Comes with original box, instruction manual and polishing cloth.
Box has seen better days but it is expected for the age. Tears and scuffs all around.
Please look closely at the images as this is the actual item you will receive :~)

▲The ideal way to learn the harmonica is to learn from a good teacher, but if you live in a rural area, this is not possible, so you must study by yourself. To do so, you will need to learn from textbooks written by Toho Miyata, who is famous as the highest authority in the harmonica world.
