Purchased several years ago and used in a local wind band. There are small scratches overall, but there are no problems with use. I was using a Prestige with a strong British sound, and I was struggling because it didn't sound like a wind band. However, when I used this mouthpiece, I was able to play clearly and it fit well. I even participated in the national competition with this mouthpiece. I'm selling it because I have fewer opportunities to play in a wind band. I hope someone who has similar problems can use it.
