This is a violin that can be played both automatically and manually. In automatic play, pressing the demo button starts the automatic performance, and it plays until the end of the song. In manual play, when you touch the bow to the strings, a note will sound one note at a time in the scale of the song. The length of each note is adjusted by the length of time the bow is applied to the strings. Please refer to the instruction manual for the song list. All functions have been confirmed to work properly. The box has some damage, but the product itself is in good condition. Under "Important Safety Information," it states that this product is not a toy, so please keep it out of reach of small children. Therefore, I believe this product is not suitable for children. (Please note that, although it is not a real violin, I am listing it as a toy.) It uses two AA batteries, which are not included. The product box will be wrapped in plastic for shipping. #Violin #AutomaticPlay #ManualPlay #MusicalInstrument Toy Genre...Musical Instrument Toys Toy Genre...Pretend Play Toys Toy Genre...Electronic Toys/Kids' Electronics Toy Genre...Other
