This is a 4/4 full-size violin made by Karl Hofner, a major German manufacturer. It shows some scratches and dirt from use, but there are no defects that would hinder playing. A bow, shoulder rest, and rosin are included. It features a beautiful one-piece back with tiger-stripe figuring. The strings have been replaced and the instrument has been fully adjusted, so it's ready to play as soon as you tune it.
