We paid £250 for this violin, and it is now priced at around £150. A great bargain. This is a Suzuki Violin, 1/2 size, made in 1974 at the Suzuki factory in Nagoya, Japan. It is a Stradivarius model/copy, typical of Suzuki student violins from this period. The bridge and strings have been recently replaced, so the violin is in good playable condition. The body shows normal cosmetic wear due to age, but no major structural issues based on visible inspection. This violin is suitable for beginner to intermediate young players who need a reliable, well-set-up instrument. Included with the violin: • Bow • Hard case A well-made vintage Japanese student violin from 1974 with updated setup, ready to play and complete with bow and case.
