Welcome to the Labyrinth—It’s always fun to come across rare items ****************************************************************** Based on the serial number, it appears to have been manufactured around 1980. The model name "HD-210," which is quite mysterious to begin with, appears to have undergone specification changes while retaining the same model name. (From partway through the production run, the design and specifications were aligned with the D41.) This is the “early model” with the D28 design and specifications featuring dot position markers... But the story doesn’t end there: while the back appears to be rosewood, if you look at the sides, it looks like mahogany! * Upon inspection from the inside of the body, it is actually rosewood. Visually, wouldn’t you say this is a kind of rarity? And what’s fascinating is the sound—it even makes you wonder, “Could the wood grain be related to the tone?” This hybrid combination of the same materials with different visual appearances is surprisingly (?) impressive. Could this actually work!? As a fan of both the D18 and D28, this was a real eye-opener for me. If I had to put it into words, I’d call it “exquisite.” It really has just the right resonance.
