This is a mute designed by trumpet player Mr. Okuda. As a fan of his, and having a flugelhorn mute of his, I purchased this one. However, I had gotten used to a different mute, so I only used this one once and have been storing it. There are no noticeable scratches or damage. I would like to pass it on to someone who will use it. Please refrain from price negotiations, as I will gradually lower the price at my own discretion. Please feel free to ask any questions you have about the product. The following is quoted from the product website: Practice mutes often prioritize sound reduction and playability. However, the most important thing is the comfort of the sound. In 2013, the handmade practice mute "okura+mute" was born, which does not compromise playing technique and has the potential to aid in improvement. It quickly spread to players around the world, and inquiries from all over the world continue to pour in. With the desire to have more players experience it, the new okura+mute has been completed. okura+mute provides excellent sound reduction and a comfortable feel that makes you want to keep playing.
