My sister only tried it a couple of times. The mouthpiece shows a bit of wear as shown in photo. I understand any recorder that has been used has similar marking.
Never exposed to smoke, perfume or scent of any kind. Made in Germany and I believe it is Pearwood, but I am not sure. It is wood, though.
It is an alto recorder as the length is 18 inches. The entire pouch and recorder weigh 10 ounces.
