Please read the profile and product description before purchasing. Thank you! I purchased this instrument new in July 2023 at Ginza Yamano Music, recommended by my band teacher as a "beginner-friendly instrument." After that, I bought a tenor bass trombone, so I only used this instrument for about 8 months, about twice a week. There are scratches, dents, and dullness, as well as other imperfections that don't show up in the pictures, but I think it's in relatively good condition compared to other used instruments I've seen. The ★ marks are covering areas where I was clearly reflected. It will be packaged with bubble wrap and a waterproof plastic bag. (I will not use a cardboard box because I don't have one of the right size.) Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are looking for a perfect instrument.
