This is a vintage Suzuki Taishogoto Type II, made in Japan and complete with its original hard case. The taishogoto is a traditional Japanese keyed string instrument, and this example is the electric version, built for amplification, recording, and performance.
The Type II designation places this as a more refined model, featuring smooth key action, a built-in pickup, and onboard controls for shaping your sound. It plays much like a cross between a lap steel, autoharp, and keyboard, producing a distinctive, expressive tone that works beautifully for ambient music, experimental soundscapes, drone, soundtrack work, and traditional Japanese styles.
FeaturesNumbered key buttons for intuitive playability
Built-in pickup with volume and tone controls
Standard 1/4" output
Original Suzuki hardware and electronics
Serial label present on the back
