This listing is for the case only (recorder not included). There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but as this is a used item that a child has used, I do not recommend purchasing it if you are concerned about minor details. Please be sure to check the size and condition beforehand if you have any concerns. For those who have lost their cover or whose cover has become dirty and unusable!! It will be folded for packaging when shipped. Thank you for your understanding. #Music #Musical Instruments #Aulos
