Basically, it's in beautiful condition, and the pistons are in excellent working order. The slides aren't super smooth, but they move smoothly. Of course, there's no sticking. There are no dents on the slides, etc., but there is a slight distortion and a few small dents on the bell. They are not critical. See the red arrows in photos 7, 13, and 14. (Added December 6, 2025) There is some plating wear on the side of the piston. See the red arrows in photos 16 and 17. A mouthpiece of some kind will be included. If you wish, please ask what's available at that time. This is a perfect instrument for beginners. I will gradually lower the price. Thank you for your consideration.
