Thank you for viewing. This is a classic mouthpiece from Bach. The engraving reads: VINCENT BACH CORP. 17. There are dents, small scratches, and scuffs on the rim, body, shank, and shank end. There are no major scratches, dents, or plating wear that would interfere with playing. Please refrain from comments asking for a price reduction. Immediate purchase is OK.
