Purchased in 2008 and used for about 3 years, it has been stored at home since then. The pads and cork have been replaced once. The items included are everything shown in the listing. There are no noticeable scratches or cracks on the instrument itself. In terms of appearance, the cap is darkened, the soft case has some scuffs, and the zipper pull on the soft case is missing, which are the most noticeable issues. Otherwise, it is in a condition appropriate for its age. I test-played it for the listing, and it worked without any problems. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. Thank you.
