Forget Mendini, Cecilio, Eastar and Bellfina’s. If you want your child to love learning the violin then get them something decent….NOT the cheapest violin on Amazon.

This is a lovely little handmade instrument. It was my daughter’s second violin (she started on a 1/10). Purchased from new and used only by her. The sound this violin produces is remarkable and it is now nicely played in and ready for its next musician.

I have photographed every tiny flaw that I can see (a few small chips here and there that do not affect its sound or playability). The velcro neck strap was fraying so I have trimmed and scorched it to prevent further fraying. The clasp on outside of case is wonky but still works.

See pictures!
