Description
A student violin made in Germany isn't a relic of the past. With modern technical efficiencies and good old German know-how, the Hofner HOF-7 model is a great step-up violin that uses fully solid, lightly-flamed maple and aged spruce and a shaded golden-brown spirit varnish. This crisp, clean modern look is a refreshing alternative for some customers to more heavy "antiquing." Includes ebony pegs and endbutton, Despiau ''C'' level French bridge, ebony tailpiece with E tuner, Guarneri model ebony chinrest, and Thomastik Dominant A, D, & G strings with Pirastro Gold Label E (loop end).

Over the coming decades, Höfner's business grew to meet global demands, earning a reputation for high-quality craftsmanship and economically-efficient working methods. Now located at Hagenau in Bavaria, Höfner uses the traditional methods of violinmaking and bowmaking, tried and true for generations, to create a wide range of instruments and bows suitable for students as well as professionals.
