Grog, you need this.

"It is NOT 100% original as the tuners, fingerboard and tail piece have been updated."

In violin family instruments this means nothing. It's not a guitar. Every Strad, for example, has had its fingerboard and tailpiece replaced several times. Only the body, and to some degree the neck, are important. A violin maker can re-neck a Strad and it would still be a Strad.

Highlander:
I'd be tempted if the readies were there... not an everyday item... 8)

Pilgrim:
That looks like a very fine deal to me.  Decent uprights aren't cheap.

patman:
agreed
