Thank you for viewing. This is a German-made violin, crafted using high-quality European materials, and it has beautiful wood grain. It was made in 1996 and is believed to be the work of the second generation. There is a handwritten signature, and I believe it is a high-grade class violin. The sound post is in place, and it can be played without any issues in its current condition. It will be shipped in a hard case, carefully packed, and then placed in a cardboard box for shipping. ・As impressions can vary, please check the photos and consider purchasing. ・There is a possibility that the sound post or bridge may come loose during shipping, so if this happens, please handle it yourself upon arrival. ・Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item. Thank you for your consideration.
