The mouthpiece offered in this advertisement has seen normal use over the years and exhibits typical cosmetic wear. Numerous light feather scratches are present throughout the surface, along with areas of finish wear on the shank. A slight mark is visible along the outer rim cup area; however, it does not affect comfort or playability. Compared to the cost of a new Bach mouthpiece, this represents an excellent opportunity to own one of the most popular trumpet mouthpieces ever produced at a substantial savings.
