I am a professional violinist and have been using this violin for many gigs. I am simply switching over to playing more orchestral viola so I don’t need the 5 string as much as before. This instrument has been very well cared for and has been maintained regularly.

I have been the only owner of the violin. Purchased in 2015 for $1600.

Included with the violin is the Realist case. Sturdy oblong case.

Does not come with a bow.

Buyer pays $50 s/h.

There is a tiny nick (can be covered up w polish) near the chinrest.

I have used this in both electric gigs and acoustic gigs.  I play in musical pits quite a bit and this was very handy for the times I read from both the viola book and the violin book.  Does NOT have to be plugged in for the instrument to be heard.
