To complete these outfits, the SC-175 has been upgraded to include the deluxe Travelite hard shell foam case with built-in hygrometer for excellent protection and an exceptional LB-13 J. La Salle octagonal brazilwood bow with ebony frog and genuine unbleached horsehair. This instrument is setup to Cremona standards at their U.S. workshop.
