Violin 1/4 size for children, Valente The strings appear to be rust-free, but it hasn't been used for a while, so you might want to replace them. Shoulder rest (Valente) included. Case included for shipping. I have cleaned it, but there may be some cat hair inside the case. It shows signs of use, but how about trying it out as a beginner's practice instrument? Please contact me if you have any concerns. I can add more photos. No claims, no returns.
