I am selling this because I found a better one and no longer need this. Purchased in August 2025. Used once for practice. Upon closer inspection, there are signs of use on the ligature. The logo was partially peeled off from the time of purchase. There are noticeable scratches on the box. The following are my personal impressions: It plays very well, and I felt it was an instrument that responds immediately even with a light breath. I think it's also quite easy to articulate. I don't think there are any intonation issues. Tonguing is easy in all registers. - Brand: Vandoren - Model: BD4 - Material: Ebonite - Color: Black - Accessories: Box
