This listing features an antique-style violin, marked "Model Antonius Stradivarius Cremonenfis Faciebat Anno 17 (Japan)" on an internal label, indicating its origin as a Japanese-made instrument. The violin presents with a classic two-tone finish and comes with a bow, housed in its original fitted case with a green felt interior. Bow marked Germany. The design suggests it is an homage to historical violin craftsmanship.

Condition

The violin exhibits signs of age and use consistent with its presumed vintage. There are surface scratches and minor abrasions on the body. The bow requires re-hairing, as the existing hair is significantly frayed and broken. The case shows considerable wear, scuffs, and some material loss, particularly on the exterior, with the interior felt showing some discoloration and minor tears. The case latches appear functional.
