Thank you for viewing. My wife used this about 4-5 times, but she is selling it because she is focusing on her main job, playing the saxophone. The ligature has some discoloration, but it does not affect the performance. Other than that, there are no noticeable scratches. The plastic reed that came with the instrument has a poor tone, so I will include two Vandoren reeds (unopened, size 2.5). These will provide a much richer tone compared to the plastic reed.
