I don't know the details very well, but looking at the label, it says May 21, 1930, and in cursive, it probably says H. Ito. I had someone at the workshop look at it the other day, but they didn't know either. However, they said the construction and sound are quite good. The sound post has been replaced with a fairly new one, and the condition isn't bad. Since it's from 1930, violin making in Japan wasn't very common at the time (during the war), so it's speculated that it might be from France or Germany. That's all. The tone is comparable to my daughter's 1870 old violin. Bow: Included. DODD, made in Germany. It can be used, but the hair is short even when the screw is loosened, so there's not much play. I recommend replacing it. Case: Included, an antique hard case made of plastic.
