Thank you for viewing. This is a Heckel C2N bassoon bocal from the long-established German company, Heckel. It was purchased from a professional orchestra player in Japan and used by them. It is made of nickel silver with silver plating. There is a small dent near the tip, but it does not seem to affect the inner bore (see photo 7). Otherwise, there are no dents, bends, or major scratches. The cork is in good condition, so you should be able to use it immediately.
