Trombone and Euphonium Mouthpiece Denis Wick 4AL Large Shank The gold plating has all worn off due to years of use. There are fine scratches, dents, and dirt overall, but nothing critical. I think it's been kept clean considering its age. Deep and large mouthpieces are popular these days, so wouldn't this be the type you'd want to get? It doesn't have the original box, so it will be wrapped in bubble wrap for shipping.
