Thank you for viewing. This is a classic mouthpiece from Bach. The engraving reads: VINCENT BACH CORP MT VERNON NY 15C. It is for a small shank. This mouthpiece was manufactured in Mount Vernon, New York, from 1953 to 1965. It's a Mount Vernon Bach, a mouthpiece that enjoys strong support and serves as a model for mouthpiece makers. There are scratches on the rim, body, shank, and shank end. There are no major scratches, dents, or plating剥がれ (peeling) that would interfere with playing. Please refrain from comments asking for a price reduction. Immediate purchase is OK. If you are interested in used or new mouthpieces, please search for "ネットブラス" (Net Brass). net-brass.com
