I've added more photos to clarify, as the wall in the original pictures made the product appear dented. This is a cup mute for trumpet and cornet. (Please note: it is not a straight mute.) I originally purchased it used and have replaced the label and cork. There are no issues with playing, but I have dropped it a few times during use, so there are some scratches and dents. Please check the images and consider this before purchasing. No returns or exchanges. ★The following is automatically generated product information from Mercari: Aluminum trumpet mute with cork pads for improved sound quality. - Brand: TOM CROWN - Country of Manufacture: Made in U.S.A. - Material: Aluminum - Features: Cork pads Thank you for viewing.
