This is a used Karl Meisel 1/2 size copy of a Stradivarius design violin pre-1989, made in West Germany. This item does show signs of wear including scratches, dings, discoloration on front, back, and neck, line/crack on the bottom, and it needs a new plastic pin and a string. The case is old, but functional. This item does not have a bow included. It still makes a normal sound in its condition. The inner sticker states, "Karl Meisel Geigen Bass und Cellobau Made in West Germany No. 6110 1/2 size copy: Stradivarius Serial no. 33584" Please see photos. Please email me with any questions.
