Description Perfect Playing condition 1976 Roman Teller 16.5" viola, with thin neck and narrow string spacing at nut to make it perfect for the student with long narrow fingers; easy to play fifths in tune!  Responds very quickly to fast passage work, more so than most other violas, perfect for the orchestral repertoire which is why I bought it.  Value $4000+; purchased from a professional violin shop; great for either the advanced student or professional.No cracks or open seams to the wood, only chips in varnish and chips from wood where the bow frog approaches the bridge, none of this affects structural integrity.  Outstanding GERMAN craftsmanship; no repairs have ever been needed; all glue joints are still perfect. Will ship with an octagonal PERNAMBUCO bow, nearly new with hair like new, no darkening of hair at all near the frog, straight stick!And a heavy-duty plywood, not foam, oblong case with full-length music pocket, nearly new, and very clean, multiple storage compartments.I am the original owner of this instrument, so I know that it has always been stored and transported in optimal temperatures.  Also, I have always used gut and now perlon strings, not steel, in case steel would put too much tension on the instrument.All from a non-smoking home. I AM INCLUDING INSURANCE IN THE LISTED SHIPPING COSTSThanks! Place a Bid!
