In good overall condition, this Verus VG was played and maintained for a few years by the original owner. Some signs of use and overall lacquer wear, and the rotors are in great condition with compression around a 1. Made in 2019, it features the original bell design, with a Gold Brass construction for a warmer tone and open low range, and includes the original detachable bell case and Verus accessory pouch.
