A copy of the description....

The Suzuki TES-100 Waraku is an extremely rare and one of the strangest Japanese electronic musical instruments that was originally made for playing Japanese traditional music.
This one is one of the most  bizarre instruments SUZUKI ever made.

First of all it is very beautiful designed, built in classy exotic wood case in classic taisho koto (Japanese peacock harp) shape with 27 key keyboard (same key as classic Japanese peacock harp) with 5 string bridge and 4 assignable drum pads. It has 16 sounds, all exotic Japanese traditional instruments like koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, weird voice etc. In percussion mode you can play many exotic percussion on keyboard or by assignable drum pads. There is a pitch bend lever and vibrate switch, output jack, headphone out and surprisingly it has MIDI out!, so you can play external MIDI module by WARAKU's unique 5 strings or keyboard

You can play WARAKU by keyboards or 5 string bridge and 4 assignable drum pads this unique 5 string bridge can play by usual guitar pick, hold one key of the keyboards and play each 5 string bridge by pick like guitar. 5 string bridge is simulate Japanese traditional instruments like taisho koto (Japanese peacock harp) etc.. Japanese harp musician often use fast trills to play so it has 3 strings with same sounds. 4th string is -1 octave from first 3 strings(in the case you choose taisho koto,other case same as above 3 strings). 5th strings is bass string. Strings are touch sensitive with velocity.

WARAKU has MIDI OUT so you can play another MIDI synth by this unique 5 string bridge. This 5 strings are very effective for guitar & bass instruments, it feels/plays like a guitar synthesizer.

The 4 assignable drum pads are also touch sensitive and are easily playable. Assigning a drum sounds to a pad is very easy, just hold one key and hit one of the selected pads in percussion mode. Drum sounds consists of many exotic Japanese traditional percussion. Of course in drum mode you can play all of the drum sounds on the keyboard.
