Condition report:

The instrument is in as found condition and requires significant restoration and professional setup before use. The bridge is missing and the strings are present but loose and tangled. There are various surface scratches, nicks, and areas of varnish wear across the body consistent with age and student use. The bow hair is broken and detached, necessitating replacement. No case is included.
