Hi Everyone,
In my continuing search for a beginner violin for myself (I'm 38) I have been trying to peruse the forum here and learn what people here, who are much more experienced than myself, think about various violin makers. I'm looking at a Gliga too but today I also saw a Johannes Kohr which was a name I saw mentioned in another thread that seemed to be a good beginner choice (yes?)
Anyway, I'm in strange territory because I'm on eBay ( I know) and I believe the seller is a pawn shop (yikes!!!) and he doesn't even know if it's 4/4 (he asked me how he would find out when I sent him a message. Yikes again) So I just wanted to reach out here because you were all so amazing with my first inquiry.
Here's what I know and I also have a link to my album with pictures of the violin because I'm too new to post pics here
Johannes Kohr W.Germany Ser 2300 Jahr 1977 Model 21 w case, strap & bow. Can anyone tell me if this is a full size violin?
There is damage to the sides which you can see in the pictures: https://flic.kr/s/aHskjDuLd4
It's $149 which I know is cheap and you get what you pay for usually.
Thanks in advance!
