Full Size Violin For Beginners (SEE DESCRIPTION)

Context: Obtained this Violin from my middle school during COVID as I moved states and couldn’t return it. Served me faithfully for about 2 full years of playing, one in 6th grade and recently in 11th grade. Because this instrument has been in a middle school longer than I’ve been alive, it is NOT in the best shape. It has lots of chipped edges, lots of stuck rosin on the body and especially fingerboard, some pen and marker on it (pen likely from students, marker likely from the school for tracking purposes), and somehow even has slight bits of glitter on it. The G fine tuner is also bent so tuning with it is difficult sometimes. LOOK AT ALL IMAGES BEFORE BUYING!!!! Regardless of this, it still plays rather well for such an old neglected instrument. It served me well from beginner to intermediate and would be a perfect budget instrument for any beginner interested in finding out if music is for them. I have cleaned as much of the instrument up as possible (removed the biggest dried areas of rosin and cleaned the inside and removed large amounts of dust) and also replaced the strings with some good quality ones (Thomastik Dominants are around $60 alone). The violin is playable and usable for at least a year or two for any beginner and includes a bow (Warning: Bow is not a full sized bow for some reason but this shouldnt make a difference as a beginner) and case. I’m selling this not for the profit aspect but because it would serve any beginner looking to get into the hobby well before committing on a much more expensive instrument. If you have any questions feel free to message me about anything or if you don’t know if this instrument would be right for you let me know so I can point you in the right direction. If you give me 2 weeks or so, I can also add some finger tapes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th finger which should help beginners learn how to play. DOES NOT INCLUDE ROSIN OR SHOULDER REST
