Used Viola Case and Bow Set Heer 2008

Viola Case and Bow Set
Body: Heer 2008 38cm
Bow: Finkel Atelier
Case: Toyo Super Shell

This is a viola made by Heer in Switzerland. It was imported by Chaconne. Purchased in 2010. It has been used considerably, so there are many scratches, but it does not affect playability. Also, the antique finish makes the scratches less noticeable.

The original purchase price was ¥350,000 + tax for the body, ¥80,000 + tax for the bow, and approximately ¥20,000 for the case.
Currently, the body is priced around ¥450,000 and the bow around ¥200,000, reflecting price increases.

This is a very small instrument with a body length of 38cm (15 inches), making it comfortable to switch between playing the violin and viola.

We also offer the instrument and case separately. In that case, the price will be reduced by ¥50,000.

Addendum: Photos have been added.
- The exterior of the case also shows signs of use. The handle of the inner box has come off. It can be opened by inserting a finger into the gap.
- There are multiple scratches on the top plate. The corners are worn and the varnish is peeling. There is a dent on the scroll.
- The winding of the A string is broken near the nut. The A string may need to be replaced soon.
- The bridge will be shipped in an upright position. We have shipped instruments via courier several times without any issues with the bridge. Please let us know if you would prefer the bridge to be shipped detached.
