The E.R. Pfretzschner is a handmade German violin. It's not a very common brand in Japan, but it's a popular German-made violin in America. It was made in the workshop of Mittenwald, West Germany, a holy land for violin making. It is sold at Shimokura Gakki for around 400,000 yen. The tone is a weighty sound typical of German-made instruments. Two bows are included: a German-made bow and a new, non-branded bow. Please consider the German-made bow as a bonus, as it is old. The rosin is new. The hard case is a simple gourd-shaped case made by GEWA, a long-established German manufacturer. It's compact yet strong, and a high-quality case unique to GEWA. The case is in very good condition. The violin body has many scratches and stains, so it is being offered at a low price. Type: Violin
