This is a YAMAHA Silent Brass. As you can see in the photos, there are noticeable scratches on the sponge part. There are also other minor scratches. I purchased it about a year ago, but I've only used it three times, each time for less than 30 minutes. Due to the low usage, please refrain from price negotiations. Batteries are not included. Everything in the photos is included. USB cable and instruction manual are not included. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in a cardboard box. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you.
