The instrument is in excellent condition. There is some strange white stuff (glue?) at some of the seams, visible in one of the pictures. It did not come off easily, so I left it there. Otherwise, no damage or problems to speak of.
What I did:
Adjusted the fit of the pegs. They work fine now.
Adjusted the fit of the bridge.
Made a new sound post.
Made a new nut. (The old one had violin spacing of the strings.)
The strings on it are the old 11-weight strings that were on it when I got it. Gut A.
The understrings are 24, 26, 28, 30
There is a set of new Pirastro 11-weight strings in the case.There are envelopes with various old strings in the case.
It's in a nice case. (It's actually a case for 15 1/2 inch viola).
