Although there's no marking in the f-holes or on the case, it's almost certainly a Chinese-made Skylark (Golden Sparrow). This model was made around 1970-1990, and those made around 1985 are known for having f-hole paper that easily peels off. There are paint unevenness and scratches here and there, but Skylarks were originally made with this kind of quality. This item is likely almost unused. Despite the shoddy craftsmanship, the sound is surprisingly good and clear. Perhaps it's because it's a Guarneri copy. Skylark brand violins were often used as school教材 until around 2000. The catalog price was 60,000 yen (including case and bow). ※ I'm probably the only one who knows the manufacturer of this, so the price is set low. Includes violin body, case, bow, rosin, and a new shoulder rest. The shoulder rest is equivalent to the cheapest item on Am◯zon. Tuning was done correctly. The sound post is standing. ※ It's ready to play at the moment, but retuning will be necessary as the strings will loosen during shipping. ※×※×※※×※× Are you bored during winter or spring break?
