The body, refinished using French polish, is in good condition and all glued joints are intact. The spruce top has some well-repaired, stable cracks.The violin has been set up for the best attainable sound and playability. It is suitable for use as a student instrument or as a travel instrument. It comes with a newly-rehaired bow, and a restored, vintage, wooden “coffin” case. Fair market value for this violin, bow, and case is between $250 and $325.Item No. 2026-104
