This is an old violin I purchased here previously. I believe the sound post needs maintenance, so I'm selling it for less than the purchase price (around 140,000 yen). I think the sound post can be maintained for around 10,000 yen. I don't know much about it, so please judge from the images. The strings have all been replaced with new Dominant strings. There are no accessories. The case in the image is not included. It will be placed in an old case for transportation. The following is what the seller wrote at the time of purchase: I am selling a handmade violin made in 1979. It's a brand that is not often seen in Japan, but the E.R. Pfretzschner is a German handmade violin, and it is a popular German violin in the United States. It was handmade in a workshop in Mittenwald, West Germany, the holy land of violin making. It was listed as a 400,000 yen class violin at Shimokura Gakki. However, because the maker is not very well known, the price is relatively reasonable. The sound quality is probably equivalent to a 600,000 to 700,000 yen class violin. The tone is a heavy, German-like tone that will satisfy even intermediate players or above. It is very easy to play, so beginners and those new to the violin will improve quickly. It's also good for upgrading from a SUZUKI 3-digit class violin or a Pygmalion 2-digit class violin, and for beginners, you can experience the deep sound that is the joy of the violin. The instrument is 40 years old, and the materials are starting to mature, resulting in a deep, German-like tone. For me, the resonance of the G string and D string is the distinctive characteristic of this instrument. And yet, the A string and E string also have a good, calm sound, and they are not too shrill. I think it will sound even better from now on. Since the materials are solid, if you play it well with a stiff bow, it will sound beautifully. The back plate also resonated well. I think it's a violin that is very rewarding to nurture. I have been playing it in lessons and practice while having it adjusted at a violin workshop. There are a few small scratches, so I am selling it at a lower price. The bridge and pegs have been adjusted, but those who are sensitive should have them adjusted at a workshop.
