I was looking for a Taisho Koto for a long time and was contemplating about whether to get an Electric or an Electric-Acoustic one and came to a conclusion that I like the more natural sound of this amazing instrument and this TAS 11 from Suzuki fits the bill exactly.
It sounds beautiful. It has a very rich sound that fills the room whether you play it just as an acoustic instrument or use the pickup to plug it into an amp and effects. It is a delicate instrument and it is pretty light but the build is very solid and firm and it feels very good to play on. I feel that the pressure keys might feel small for people with big hands, (my fingers are rather on the thin side so it fits great).
The case is very useful to keep this great instrument in, it is sturdy, beautiful and with great quality. I was happy to realize that the TAS 11 is available at Thomann's, since I thought I had to somehow order a Taisho Koto from Japan, maybe even second hand.
I am very satisfied with this purchase that came in with a fast delivery and great service from Thomann.
