I purchased this from Nero Instruments about a year and a half ago. I used it once in a concert (about 5 times including practice) and have stored it at home since then. 《Condition》 ・No deep dents or scratches are visible. ・There is not much deterioration on the main body, but the sticker is slightly faded. ・I wiped it down, but please forgive any dust that couldn't be removed. ※This is a used item stored at home. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. TOM CROWN FH-C Gestop Mute By using copper for the material, this gestop mute achieves a deep, rich sound while still producing the "metallic sound" that is expected of a gestop mute. The sound has a clear outline, the response is good when playing at p (piano), and it also resonates well when blown into, so it won't be buried in an ensemble. ***************** TOM CROWN In 1969, Mr. Tom Crown was inspired by the mute used by Mr. Harces, the principal player of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and developed this mute. Since then, it has been used by orchestras around the world, and in Japan, it has become a well-established mute, with "Tom Crown being synonymous with straight mutes." *****************
