Silent Viola The items included are all shown in the photos. I used this several years ago for practice in my apartment, and have kept it stored at home since then. It's used by connecting to an amplifier, just like an electric guitar, but I don't have any equipment like an amplifier, so I haven't been able to confirm that it works. This is a no-brand product made in China, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for high sound quality or a high-quality instrument. Instant purchase is OK.
