For sale as I no longer need it. This is a 1/4 size fractional violin that a child used for a short period. It's made of plastic, so there are minor scratches, scuffs, and signs of use on the surface, but it doesn't affect its use. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about these details. I would like to sell it to someone who understands the above. +++++++++++++++++++++++ This is the HorACE Bow Guide, a bowing practice guide for violin bows. To play with a beautiful tone, you need to move the bow in the correct position and at the correct angle. By attaching the HorACE Bow Guide to the violin and playing while moving the bow along the guide, you can correct your bowing so that the correct bowing technique comes naturally. This is a practice tool. It is a highly recommended support item for improving bowing for violin beginners. The guide part is made of lightweight and durable polycarbonate resin, weighing only about 26 grams (for 4/4 to 1/2 size). The guide has a round arch shape, so there is no discomfort when operating the bow, and it is transparent, so it doesn't feel too distracting to the player's view. In addition, the compact design allows for bowing practice very close to the end of the bow. One of the recommended points is that the edges of the guide, which the bow stick is likely to touch from the side, are designed and manufactured to be rounded, so there is less worry about damaging the bow during bowing. The guide gently guides the bow to the correct angle. The mounting and fixing parts that touch the instrument are also minimal, so there is almost no adverse effect that would suppress the sound of the instrument. It is a product that has been carefully designed and considered in various aspects, and it has been evaluated in five countries around the world, including Japan, and has obtained a patent (Utility Model Registration No. 3176819). It can be used for adult violins of 4/4 size, and fractional violins for children of 3/4 and 1/2 sizes.
