Mint condition, with only some aging of the plating surface mainly on the table where someone left an old reed clamped on; this is an extremely rare find. It is an original 6* facing and the size is as expected. The entire piece is plated and nicely shiny. Serialed early FL are basically the same as double ring, they play just as specially and are probably harder to find as production was very brief before the regular no USA’s. This comes with the original box, cap and ligature as well. The sound is fat, crisp and colorful.
