This is a copy violin, possibly by Gaspar da Salò in Brescia. No strings are attached. Based on the size, it appears to be a violin. It has been well-used. It is being sold as-is, but a violin shop examined it and said no major repairs are needed. The violin shop also said it seems quite old, but they don't know the details. They believe it's not an original but a copy from around 1920. On overseas websites, similar labeled violins are being sold at incredibly high prices, around 1.3 million yen? Since the details are unknown, it is being sold as-is. Thank you. The original case was broken, so it has been replaced with a used case.
