2002 Glaesel Shop Adjusted Student 4/4 Violin w/Case

2002 Glaesel Shop Adjusted full sized 4/4 Violin, used and in fully playable condition. Label reads "Copy of Antonius Stradivarius, Faciebat Cremona 1713" with 2002 penciled below. Second label reads "Glaesel Shop Adjusted in Cleveland, Ohio" along with a serial number, date, model V1201E4 and the usual Glaesel stuff. This is a MENC specification violin. Condition is very nice, with just a few minor cosmetic dings, otherwise like new. Strung with student red label strings and a classical arch Aubert bridge, this would make an excellent violin for a beginning student. Oddly, the label makes no mention of the country of origin, however its most likely the case that this is a Chinese instrument. Sound is, well, that of a student violin and typical of Chinese factory student violins, loud and woody. Ready to play. This instrument comes with a hardshell Glaesel case, but no bow. I can include am inexpensive used fiberglass student bow and ascessories if you want a full outfit for a nominal additional cost if requested.

I try to be as honest and descriptive as I can with my listings, and do offer a limited 7 day return policy, but only if there's a very serious issue that I did not notice and mention upon writing my listing. If you want full return priveledges, you need to leave ebay and go to a violin shop and pay three times more for the service. Look carefully at my photos, ask me any questions you like, and for US customers, insured USPS shipping is my standard, I pack well, and ship with the bridge down and the violin detuned for safety. Expect that the soundpost may fall and need to be reset as a result, if you're new to violins, do contact me and I'll be happy to explain what that means or answer any other questions you may have, I love to talk about violins. I will ship anywhere in the world, however outside the US shipping is at YOUR risk. I pack them as well as possible, but if it shows up damaged or your postal officials steal your violin, its your problem, all I will do is show you scanned proof that I shipped it. I do accept best offers, but only if they are reasonable. Don't bother me with $50 offers, I'm just going to say no or ignore it entirely. Do NOT hit buy it now unless you will complete the transaction in good faith.
