I purchased this for my daughter when she took orchestra at school. I bought from a couple who lived in Pittsburgh who had purchased this at a music shop in Pittsburgh. I believe this to be a very good student violin. It is all wood and served my daughter well. She no longer takes orchestra so time to give to a new home. No cracks or breaks. It does have surface scratches and some wear to the sides. See all photos.
West Germany.
Model # 30L
Reg # 5H-8912
23.5" Long.
Has 2 Labels on the inside. One is Marked Handmade copy of Antonius Stradivarius West Germany
and the other label says Roth Shop Adjusted Cleveland Ohio
Includes Hard Case and two bows. The bows look functional with the strands all in place. But I don't know really anything about violins/bows so I can't say anything about the quality of the bows.
A bit about myself: I am not an
antique expert. I am a person who attends auctions and estate sales in
hopes to make a modest living by relocating special items to better homes.
I pride myself in a quick turn around response to your questions and requests
for additional photos. I want happy buyers so I always offer a "no
questions asked" return policy.
