This snare is in good condition, but has been played a bit and does show a few light signs of wear. There are a few scuffs, smudges, and a bit of tarnishing here and there on the shell and hardware, and there's some dust buildup here and there in the nooks and crannies of the hardware and on the shell itself that could use a quick cleanup. The batter head has some light wear as well. Overall, this snare looks and sounds great.
