Antonius Stradivarius Made in Germany Made in Germany, 1996 4/4 Size Violin This is a German-made violin imported and sold by a major Japanese stringed instrument store. It has a "Special" signature, making it a higher-grade instrument than those without a signature. As the label indicates, it is a Stradivarius model, finished with a beautiful, glossy orange-brown alcohol varnish. This is a violin set worth approximately 300,000 to 400,000 yen. The fitting parts (pegs, tailpiece, chin rest) have been replaced with new, high-quality boxwood. Enjoy this beautiful violin, reminiscent of a new Italian instrument. With a body length of 355mm and a weight of 474g, it is well-balanced and easy for anyone to handle. The playability is, of course, excellent, possessing both sweetness and power, with little extraneous noise, and a fresh, vibrant tone that cannot be experienced in entry-level models in this lower price range. We offer a genuine European-made violin at a great price. This is a wonderful instrument, so please don't miss this opportunity. How about it for those who want to start with a good instrument or are looking to upgrade from an entry-level instrument?
