The hair has been replaced with Mongolian horsehair. It's a standard bow. Excellent condition (unused after rehairing). ■ Case: Square case. It's a display item and has minor fraying and dirt, but it's clean. (Two straps are included. It can be carried as a backpack.) ■ The back plate has tiger stripe figuring, and it's an early RUDOLPH FIEDLER made with European materials. It's a well-made violin with sufficient performance for beginners and intermediate players. Although it's not new, it's equipped with Thomastik Dominant nylon strings, a standard choice. It has a good balance from low to high notes and is finished with a European-style, slightly advanced violin tone. For those considering a slight upgrade in fractional size, this is a violin in good condition, so you can use it with confidence. The strings have not been replaced, so please replace them to your preference. ◇ Please Read: Before purchasing, please check my profile if you have any questions. There have been instances where customers have contacted me about broken strings upon arrival or after tuning. However, please purchase and replace the strings yourself if they break. I apologize, but I have already set a low price, so I cannot offer any further discounts. Thank you for your understanding. (5290)
