This Hans Kruger model 355F violin dates from 2003 and was made in Germany. It is a beautiful violin with a one piece back. There are some minor surface dings on the front, and a small area of scuffing on the back near the edge as shown in the photos. It comes with a K. Holtz FG bow with some tarnish to the nickel winding. It comes in an Eastman Protégé shaped violin case in good condition that has some wear but is still quite useable.
