German violin workshop of Karl Höfner, c. 1970

€1,250.00

A very fine violin, crafted in Germany in the workshop of Karl Höfner. The tonewoods are excellent: the spruce top features a fine grain, while the maple back displays a well-balanced flame. Its elegant Guarnerius-inspired model, complemented by a beautiful, transparent orange-brown varnish over a golden ground, makes for a truly attractive instrument. The fine craftsmanship is evident in the precise purfling, the elegantly carved f-holes, and the delicately sculpted scroll. We have fitted the violin with a new bridge and strings; it offers an exceptionally quick response and a powerful, clear tone. An ideal choice for those looking to take the next step up from their first student violin. Body length: 35.6 cm | String length: 32.7 cm Sound characteristics: powerful, clear‍ ‍Rental price: 20 euros per month
