These are two full size five-string violins. The are both playable. The one string broke when I took it out to play it. I can send a set of strings for them. I bought these when on a craze to play five-strings. It was about four or five years ago. I am selling these and just keeping one to play if impulse prevails. They both have good wood. The one has minimal varnish. The one needs a spot of glue at the butt (easy peasy).The f-holes are cut even as I look for this when I buy them as it drives me completely nuts. In my opinion they both play quite well on all of the strings up and down the finger board. They are meek in their sound, but they do really sound nice. I am listing these less than what I had paid for them. The reason? Too many types of instruments and I loose focus. I am only charging $475 for both violins + $80 (flat fee) for shipping. That\'s a good deal. You can make an offer!Notice: Buyers MUST have a substantial positive history to purchase this item.Alan
