There is some wear, marks, scratches and losses to the green lacquer case, principally at the front panel which is covered by the fall when being played, along the sides and legs, there is a patch on the top approx. 3 x 2 inches where an attempt has been made to re-colour it, there are other areas where the lacquer is lifting and peeling probably due to plants once being stood on it, there are other scuffs and marks all along the edges all over.
None of the ivory keys appear to sticking but we can see a few small splits to the soundboard, please refer to further images.
Overall generally average.
