READ BELOW FOR DETAILS
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
*** This violin (on the left) is pictured with 2 full size 4/4 violins for comparison only , the 2 full size violins are NOT included in this auction.  middle violin is LOB 351. violin on right is LOB 358 (this one is for sale in a separate listing.)  ****
*  Shoulder rest  is a Fiddlerman Wood Violin Shoulder Rest 3/4 - 4/4, original price .89. As a shoulder rest is a very personal decision, it is NOT included, but is open to negotiation is you are interested in it.
*  Violin bows are also a very personal decision. I have two 3/4 violin bows, one wood and one Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber bow (original price .79)  Either or both of these bows are available for extra charge, open to negotiation.
*  Violin will ship in an old 4/4 shaped hard case. This case is missing handle hardware, and no handle. As it is a full size case, the 3/4 violin there is a small gap at the tail of the violin. The neck rests securely, and with a blanket on top of the violin, it is secure in the case. Because there is no handle, I have hand carried this case for many years.
*  I upgraded to a brand new , top of the line as far as hard shaped cases go, to a  SBK 3/4 case. (Original price .) If you want this case, especially for the better protection and convenience in carrying, open to negotiation.)

Despite the flaws noted above, this violin has a nice,  full , big tone for its size.

If you are looking for a large 3/4  size or a smaller 7/8 size violin with decent sound that won't break the bank, either as a final violin or as a stepping stone to a full size violin, then this might just what you are looking for.
Due to high cost of shipping to get this violin safely delivered relative to the cost and worth of the violin, it probably only makes to buy if you are local and can pick it up to save on shipping.
I am happy , however, to safely and securely pack it for delivery anywhere in the USA.
Due to past poor experience with international shipping, no ebay global shipping unless we have a dialogue prior, and the buyer is satisfactorily vetted.
