Instant purchase welcome! 【Suzuki Violin No. 240 1/2, 1976】 SUZUKI Violin, Made in Japan, Vintage Violin 【Product Details】 This is a valuable vintage violin from the "golden age of Suzuki Violin," highly regarded for its manufacturing, materials, and craftsmanship. It's a piece that has matured over 50 years, allowing the wood to resonate beautifully. 【Suzuki Violin No. 240 1/2, 1976】 The No. 240 model is suitable for beginners to intermediate players. It was a mid-range quality model for educational purposes at the time, and since most of the processes were done by hand, it's highly recommended. Regarding the tiger stripe figuring, I'm not an expert, but I feel it's quite good. These Japanese-made violins are popular not only in Japan but also overseas. Although it's a vintage item that's over 40 years old, it's in excellent condition, with the dryness and atmosphere of high-quality wood that only comes with age. The sound has a depth that cannot be found in new instruments, with good resonance, a gentle and calm tone that is easy on the ears, and a characteristic sound that extends beautifully. 【Condition】 ● There is a small crack, as shown in photo 14. ● The bow does not have any horsehair. Please consider the bow as an extra. ● The original hard case is included, but please consider it for packaging purposes. ※ This is a used item, so please check the photos and consider purchasing!!
