This item was purchased used. Since I haven't had a chance to use it much since purchasing it, only testing it out, I am now selling it. There are no issues that would affect playing, but please understand that it is a used item, so there may be minor scratches, etc. ~The following is from the manufacturer's website~ F5: Tip Opening: 114/17 – French style, conical chamber – Similar to the Vandoren B40, but requires more air and produces a warmer sound.
