Purchased online about 3 years ago. I bought it for the erhu, but I didn't really like the sound, so I used it a few times and then stored it at home. It's 1.3 to 1.5 centimeters thick. The case bag has some rosin on it, and there are some whitish spots. There are no cracks. However, the color may have darkened slightly since I bought it. It will be shipped in bubble wrap and mailed. Would you like to try it? I have a cat, so please refrain from purchasing if you are not comfortable with that. #Violin #Erhu #Stringed instrument #Bow
