These are a German-made violin and bow. ◎ Violin: Karl Höfner 4/4, made in 1980, Serial No. 58219, KH62 ◎ Bow: Lothar Seifert, rank unknown Almost 40 years ago, I wanted to try playing the violin and bought this at Yamaha in Shinsaibashi. I was told that if I was starting as an adult, I should get a good one, and that this bow was very good, so I bought them. I hadn't even looked at the name of the bow until I decided to sell it this time, and it turned out to be like "pearls before swine" for a beginner. It was put away early on, but I couldn't quite bring myself to get rid of it, and it's been with me until now. ・It has been stored in the case for a long time. ・The strings and bow hair are the same as when I bought it. ・From a layman's perspective, there are no scratches, cracks, or stains. Since it's old, I'm listing it as "used with scratches and dirt." Please understand the above. I will also send a mute and a shoulder rest (the type that is fixed with rubber: the rubber is missing). The case and cover are very old. The handle is damaged, and the lock is broken, so I don't think it will be usable in the future. Please consider it as packaging material to safely send the instrument this time. I will put it in the case and cover, wrap it in bubble wrap, and put it in a plastic bag for shipping. It would be difficult to ship separately (especially the bow's packaging), so it will be sold as a set. Thank you for your understanding.
