I purchased this about four years ago and used it for about two months, but it didn't suit me, so I stopped using it. There are no noticeable scratches, and there are no problems with playing. The outer box has a large scratch, but there are no safety concerns (see image 4). I will clean it again before shipping. This is a mouthpiece developed by tuba player Shinpei Tsugita of the orchestra in collaboration with the popular Romera Brass. It is based on a V-cup design that follows the Helleberg style, and the smooth surface processing unique to Romera Brass achieves an extremely comfortable airflow. The rim diameter is slightly smaller for this style, which prevents excessive air consumption and improves control. The appearance is also unique and beautiful, and the sound quality boasts excellent playability due to the appropriate weight control. Inner diameter 32.50mm / Throat 8.25mm
