This is a used item. It was originally purchased as junk and has been repaired. The pistons and slides have been adjusted, including lapping, so there are no operational issues. The 1st and 3rd slides have been finished with a looseness that allows for pitch correction, so using a low-viscosity oil will improve performance. There are some dents remaining on the curved sections, but this does not affect playability. The surface also shows a lot of wear, so it's not exactly pristine, but it should be ready to play. One mouthpiece is included. Adjustments: Piston and slide operation correction, straight tube dent correction, water key cork and piston felt replacement, overall cleaning.
