This is a really cool, old vintage violin. It has the following printed inside the violin body...Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1726. The body of the violin is in good condition and is great for restoration. It needs new strings and some TLC. It comes with a bow which also needs restoring. It comes with a cool, old hard case which shows signs of wear and tear from over the years.. I don't know much about this violin but you can tell a lot by the pictures. The violin measures 23 inches x 8 inches and the case is 31 inches x 9 inches. There are 2 cracks on the violin body.
