2012 Eastman Otto Benjamin ML-500 Violin – Pristine, Barely Played – Complete Outfit
For sale is my late wife's 2012 Otto Benjamin ML-500 violin by Eastman Strings, complete with two bows, a protective hard case, and several additional accessories.
This violin has only been played a handful of times. My wife upgraded to this instrument shortly before she passed away, so it saw exceptionally little use and has been carefully preserved ever since.
Its exceptional condition was recently verified through an in-person inspection at Ardis Music in Mount Clemens, Michigan. The music dealer who examined the violin specifically described its condition as "pristine."
The Otto Benjamin ML-500 is a quality instrument well suited for advancing students and experienced violinists looking to move beyond an entry-level student instrument.
Included in the sale
- 2012 Eastman Otto Benjamin ML-500 violin
- Two violin bows
- Protective hard case with green velvet-style interior
- D'Addario Prelude 4/4 medium-tension violin string set
- Resonans No. 2 shoulder rest
- Super Snark clip-on electronic tuner
- Eastman Strings accessory box
Condition: Excellent / Pristine — played only a handful of times and independently inspected at Ardis Music in Mount Clemens, Michigan.
This instrument has a special history and has been carefully kept since my wife's passing. I'm now shifting my musical focus toward guitar, bass, and recording my own album, and would like to see her violin go to someone who will appreciate and play it.
