"Karl Höfner 1959 Violin 1/2 Size Vintage, Rare Item" Founded in 1887, Karl Höfner is a long-established German manufacturer famous for Paul McCartney's violin bass. This is a vintage violin from 1959. Model number NO.660, size 1/2. Suitable for children under 140cm tall. Repaired and maintained by a specialist. The bow, bridge, one peg, tailpiece, and strings have been replaced with new ones. As expected of a vintage instrument, it uses beautiful spruce and maple wood. Includes accessories. The original bows (2) have no hair, but I'm including them as I can't bear to throw them away (images 2 and 3). Please consider them as a bonus. Rosin, a valuable tag from the time, and a price card are also included. The original price at the time was around 16,000 yen, but the average starting salary for a university graduate was about 10,200 yen, so it's worth about 350,000 yen in today's value. It's 66 years old, so there are some scratches and dullness, but there are no repairs for cracks or breaks in the body. The original, beautiful hard case is also included. This is a very rare item that is hard to find. How about starting your child off with a real vintage violin if they are thinking of starting to play the violin? Returns accepted for initial defects only. Please comment if you have any questions, such as a small discount. #Violin #Violin #Vintage #KarlHöfner #PaulMcCartney
