Pygmalion ST-03, a 1/4 size violin. This violin is from Bunkyo Gakki. It is made with higher quality than the ST-01 and 02. It produces a bright sound, and the teacher praised it as a well-sounding instrument. The 1/4 size is a rare and valuable violin that is not often available. I purchased it from a musical instrument store. It was manufactured in 1990, and the shop recommended it as a very rare and valuable item. As it was made about 30 years ago, it has been well played, and the sound has opened up, producing a bright and beautiful tone. Also, it is an instrument with sentimental value, as it won a prize in a competition. In the critiques, several teachers praised the instrument for its loud sound. I have played it carefully without dropping it. I considered keeping it at home, but I decided to list it for sale, thinking it would be better for the instrument if someone played it. My daughter used it for about two years until April 2025. The bow is an ena bow, and the hair was replaced in March 2025. The strings are Dominant, and the E string is Goldbrokat. They were replaced in March 2025, but the E and D strings have some rust. I recommend that the buyer replace the strings themselves. In March 2025, I had the body inspected at a workshop, and the sound post was adjusted, but I was told that there were no other major maintenance issues. It is in a condition where you can play it immediately upon arrival, but if you are concerned about minor details, I recommend maintenance. I purchased the body, bow, and case from a musical instrument store for about 160,000 yen (receipt not available, please understand). The case was purchased new two years ago. It is a shoulder type and can be carried on the back. The set includes the body, bow, case, and a cloth. No separate sales. We will use cardboard and bubble wrap for proper packaging to prevent water damage. We are looking forward to your purchase if you will play it with care! Please note that we do not accept returns, refunds, or complaints after purchase. Pygmalion is a violin made by Violino Co., Ltd., which has a workshop in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and boasts one of the best qualities in Japan. Since its birth in 1976, it has been supported by many musicians due to its excellent design, beautiful sound, and artistic finish.
