Carlo Giordano Violin Set VS-1C 1/8, Light Blue Case I purchased this new in June 2024 and used it for about 8 months. I rarely used it except for weekly lessons, so it has little wear and tear. Please check the photos for some dirt and scratches on the case. This set includes the violin body, bow, light blue case, shoulder rest, and rosin. I will also include two cleaning cloths for the violin, which I purchased separately. The case is a refreshing blue, and many people around us said, "It's cute!" My daughter loved it and always carried it to her lessons herself (*^^*) I think it's a color that boys can use without feeling out of place. I threw away the original box, so I will either put it in a suitable box or wrap the case in bubble wrap for shipping. I think it's relatively clean, but it has been used by a child, so please understand before purchasing. ★★★ The VS-1 is a cost-effective model for beginners.
