I have two violins, one full size and one 1/2 size, for sale.

The daughter preferred the piano, and after getting the 1/2 I realized it was too big and bought her a 1/10 (talk about hard to keep in tune!), so the 1/2 and full sized instruments are effectively brand new.

Each comes in an attractive student's case, with a bow and rosin. Ready to go.

Make me an offer, I hate to see beautiful instruments go un-played.

Is the half size violin case good for carrying MP5's w/silencer?

If the regular size one is super cheap, I might be interested. I have no idea of their value.

As anyone who has fiddled with Austrian economics knows, value is subjective. But that's a whole other tune, and I'm not going to try to bass my conducting on that score.

To beat a note of reality here, they were $110 each (plus shipping, etc) when I bought them.

I would like 2ozAg each. But price is second fiddle to finding good homes. They deserve to be played.

I've wanted to try out a violin for quite some time... violin used to be "the" common household instrument 200 years ago - like guitar is today
so regular size would be for me to experiment with
also, they would be Peaceful Assembly Church instruments

Two one-ounce silver rounds.

The "1/2" is not actually half sized. It's only a couple inches shorter than the full violin, for younger (say, 10-12) players.

Let me know, I'll deliver.  :D
