This is a reproduction of the New York Bach, manufactured in a limited edition of 2000 to commemorate the year 2000. Purchased in 2004. The inner gold plating is undamaged and appears to be mostly intact. There are some areas where the plating has peeled off. The most noticeable areas are: 〇 The mouthpiece where the right thumb joint rests 〇 The second joint of the left index finger The piston buttons also show some damage. Because the buttons and engravings are prominent, many people have asked to try it out, and it has received high praise from professional orchestra players in the Sendai area, with comments like "★It plays well!★" and "It resonates!". Unlike Yamaha, Bach instruments have significant individual differences, and you may not feel confident unless you actually try it out... but with the Millennium model, you can rest assured. The case was taken out once or twice, but after that, it was wrapped in newspaper and bubble wrap to protect it from light. I was using it as my main instrument for brass band, but I'd like to sell it to someone who will appreciate it. One of the stopper screws for the third valve slide is missing and has been replaced with a silver one. Both the pistons and slides move smoothly. It has been cleaned. ↑ This is the description from the person who requested the listing. There are no noticeable scratches or dents, but there are some minor scratches and plating deterioration due to use. I have included photos of the areas I noticed, so please take a look. There was a slight dent where the spit valve lever touches the body of the instrument, but it didn't show up in the photos. The instrument is stored in a Seaguard drawstring bag with custom embroidery. The metal parts of the case show some signs of aging, and the corners have some scuffing. It opens and closes without any problems, but there is no key. ※ The items for sale are: the instrument itself, the included hard case, the Seaguard protective bag, and one case key. ↑ These are the four items for sale. ※ I have polished it as much as possible. It shines more than when I took the photos, and I think it's in good condition for a used item. Please check the photos and description... If you have any other concerns, please let me know in the comments. I will respond after confirming with the person who requested the listing, so it may take a little time. Please understand that this is a used item, not a new one.
