Thank you for viewing. This is a Heckel CC0N bassoon bocal from the long-established German company, Heckel. I purchased this from a professional orchestra player in Japan and used it myself. It is made of nickel silver with silver plating. There is a dent on the semi-circular part, but it doesn't seem to affect the inner diameter (see photo 7). Otherwise, there are no dents, bends, or major scratches. The cork is in good condition, so you should be able to use it immediately.
