• I urgently needed two violins while I was out, so I purchased these on Mercari. • I no longer have the opportunity to play them, and it's a waste to just keep them, so I'm putting them up for sale. • I will also include a mute. • There are no problems with the case itself, but the band that secures the neck has come off. Please be careful as the wire will be exposed if you pull on it. The following is the description from the previous seller: (Please consider the parts that are described as new to have been used a few times.) This is a 4/4 Stradivarius label violin. It is believed to be about 50 years old. Although there are scratches and dirt, it is a handmade violin that is well-crafted. Good materials are used. I have included used Dominant strings. I have also included a non-brand new rosin and shoulder rest so you can start playing right away. The bow is a new, lightweight carbon fiber bow. This is a highly recommended violin in this price range.
