Little plastic violin for 6 euro

December 15, 2006 at 12:10 PM

Last summer I bought this little violin, next a little electric guitar, for 6 euro at an Indonesian market, called Pasar Malam Besar in Den Haag (The Hague), Holland. Indonesia is a former colony of the Netherlands and a lot of people of mixed race (Indonesian-European) migrate to Holland after the independence where they have this market every year for the 50th time in big tents for 3 weeks. The Mozartcoin is a reference for the size of this violin of 16 cm (without cellopin). The bridge is not right up and the (quite loose) strings goes trhough holes in the bridge for the better construction.
