You can start playing immediately with just headphones or an amplifier. I'll include a shoulder rest that can be used with a KUN Classic violin (the included shoulder rest was completely unusable). The bow is the original one, and I applied rosin to it, but I only used it a few times for testing since I usually use my own bow. Includes a clip-on tuner (attaches to the pegs; I purchased it separately, so there's no manual). Spare bridge. There are only two spare strings. I'll also include the rosin I purchased separately. kinglos
