Check back often as I will be adding new instruments daily ! *This antique instrument is sold as is ! Sold "as is" means you the buyer assumes the risk and a very slim possibility there might be more damage than described or it may require more repairs than you anticipate. Your bid or purchase is an understanding, acknowledgement and acceptance of the "sold as is" terms specified above.For sale is a very old viola of European origin being *sold as is ! This viola dates c.1780-1810. Many stable top repairs.
