This is a 1/2 size Pezolt violin. I purchased it for a competition and used it for about a year. There are no major scratches or damage, but there are some minor scratches. Please check the photos. The strings were replaced with Dominant strings a few weeks ago, and the shoulder rest is a Kun, purchased about three months ago. The bow hair hasn't been changed for a while. I was using it until recently, so you can use it right away. The case is clean because it was transported by car, but there is some wear on the handle. Please check the photos for this as well. The bow is an Archet, worth about 200,000 yen. I used to use a Suzuki bow, but this one was so much easier to play, I was surprised at the difference a bow could make. Please note that this is a used item that a child has used.
