This is a viola made in Germany in 1983. It's a viola made by the manufacturer A.R. Seidel. The size is 407mm, approximately 16 inches. The strings are new. It's a set with a bow and case. It's an old instrument, but it's very clean with no major cracks, although there are some minor scratches and dents, so please understand. The sound, in my subjective opinion, is a mellow type that isn't harsh, and it has good articulation. I think the price is reasonable for beginners. It has been well-maintained. Thank you.
