This 2012 violin is several notches up from entry level in the Cremona lineup and it has a fancy lightweight Travelite case with hygrometer. The strings are Dominants and there is a new brazilwood bow. The finish on the belly looks uneven, as if it had been cleaned improperly with the wrong solvent, and there are edge dings. Seams are intact, no cracks or repairs. It's ready to play in the 1-zipper case, comes with shoulder rest and rosin.
