I'm selling this because I don't use it much. As you can see in the pictures, there are no dents or major scratches. It's silver-plated, so it's not overly shiny, but I think it's a "pristine" item. (This is just my personal impression. Please judge the condition from the pictures.) Made in Japan. (I believe this model is now made in China.) I greased and oiled it before listing it. All mechanisms are in good working order. The hard case is also generally clean, as shown in the pictures. I'll include one no-brand mouthpiece. Please consider it a bonus. If it doesn't sell, I'll probably keep it for the time being. Please refrain from price negotiations.
