I have actually had this resting about for many years and also this tool has to be played. I was discovering to play and wearied. Do not be wrong though, this is a pro level instrument. This was made by Hugh Sutherland right here in Victoria in 1982. It has an instance, shoulder rest, matching documentation and bow. I think the bow is of more entrance degree. I think I paid $300 made use of for the bow. I live in Shawnigan lake however work in Nanaimo.
