If you're one of the many 8D players with a worn out flare - this is the perfect (and affordable) way to extend the life of your horn. This is an unlacquered 8D flare with a Lawson/Alexander ring on it. It's tarnished due to not being lacquered, but there are NO thin spots on it. It does have some minor mute dings, but nothing bad.
It's a steal at this price!
