This is a used item. A music student practiced with it for long hours over three weeks. The G and D strings, in particular, have cracks and stains as shown in the photos. The E string is rusty, but I'll include it as a bonus. Regarding the other strings, there may be individual differences, but I would be happy to sell it to someone who understands that there may be small cracks and stains. There is writing on the back of the bag. The E string is a different string, a Goldbrokat! Serial number: ⑥ #violin #OBLIGATO
