The viola has a new bridge and a new set of D'Addario Strings - both installed on 7/15/26. The viola comes with the pictured case and bow.
NOTE: The label inside the viola indicates this is a model VA160. There is no model VA160. Rather, the viola appears to be an IVAN DUNOV Prelude - model VA140 - 15" - from 2010.
