Included is the horse haired bow with inset mother of pearl on frog, silver wrapping on leather and ebony wood bow handle; old ivory bone on vintage bow tip; sponge shoulder rest, black wooden adjustable chin rest. Bridge and fingerboard in excellent condition. The body of the violin is clean and unmarred, and is a deep honey mahogany colored violin; fine tuners on the individual strings included. They may be removed if the instructor does not want the student to use them. The strings need to be replaced, as it has been in storage and they should be new for the next student who plays this violin. See my Items for information on the Classic style Metronome I have available in My Items. Better to own your instrument than to put resources out renting an instrument without recouping payments. When the child upgrades to a larger instrument, the sale price of the previous instrument helps fund the next purchase. If you want your children to be interested in music for life learning, for enhanced brain and life accomplishments, involve them with music when they are young. This is the perfect entree into the world of music for a young student.
