※ The reason for the special price is that the previous owner (M.SATO) has their name written on the box and the instrument itself. I have overhauled it, so there are no issues with the sound. The silver wire on the bow is rusty, but this is just for decoration and does not affect its use. The items for sale are the violin body, case, bow, new rosin, and a shoulder rest cushion. The rosin is equivalent to the lowest-priced item on Am◯zon. The case seems usable, but it's old, so consider it a bonus. The name is written on the side of the violin, but it's in good condition for its age. If the name wasn't written on it, the retail price at a specialty shop would be around 40,000 yen. If the name wasn't written on it, I would have sold it for just under 20,000 yen. This is a good quality Stradivarius copy, suitable for beginners. Judging from the instrument's grade, condition, and how it was used, M.SATO seems to have been a female student. It's likely she used it for club activities. Considering it's a high-priced violin, she might have been from a well-to-do family. "Kiso Suzuki" refers to the Suzuki Violin company. It had the same origins as Suzuki Violin Manufacturing but went bankrupt in 1985. They sold inexpensive violins that could be mass-produced more easily than Suzuki Violin Manufacturing, but some say that Kiso Suzuki's instruments were better in sound and quality than Suzuki Violin Sales. In fact, this particular instrument sounds good. The sound post is in place. I was able to tune it without any problems. ※ Although it's ready to play at the moment, the strings may loosen during shipping, so retuning will be necessary. ※×※× ※×※× ※×※× ※×※× Used items come in various conditions, and the appeal is that you can buy something you've always wanted at a lower price depending on its condition.
