Franz Hoffmann™ Concert Fiddle Outfit

Designed for the beginning student; Shar Music brings you the new Hoffmann™ Concert Fiddle. Easy to play, clear, responsive. A low contoured bridge enables rapid playing movement. D’Addario strings let your sound reach the entire audience – no matter what the setting.

With a crisp, bright sound, this instrument is perfect for folk and bluegrass players – as well as for any alternative style of play. Every Hoffmann™ fiddle comes with D’Addario Helicore® strings. Made from stranded steel: combining the strength and purity of steel with the warmer tone of a rope core.

Part of the six-decade-long Shar Music tradition of making fine craftsmanship available to all. Ready to handle a variety of playing styles. Ready to handle any and all changes in temperature and humidity. (Play outside, play in your living room – wherever you like.)  With the Hoffmann™ fiddle, we’re delighted to offer starting performers a sound texture never before available at this price point.

In addition to the Hoffman™ Concert Series Fiddle, this full outfit includes the following:

- Toshira™ Classic Case: The Toshira Classic only weighs 3.8 lbs, making it one of the lightest cases we offer. These updated cases include a durable foam shell, hygrometer, space for two bows, a dedicated compartment for your shoulder rest, and a huge accessory compartment. Includes case straps and a case blanket.

- D'Addairo Helicore® Strings: The Hoffmann™ Concert Fiddle comes equipped with premium Helicore® strings. Perfect for “turning up the volume” – they’re dependable under the roughest conditions. Whether you’re performing in a grand concert hall, or outdoors in the wind and sun, Helicore® is up to the task.

- Presto® Spark Carbon Bow: The brand new Spark has all the qualities that players love about Presto bows: laser-straight tracking, great control, and outstanding durability. Then, we added an incredible finish –a beautiful carbon cloth weave with sparkles of red, plus silver spiral winding.
 

- Viva La Musica Flex Shoulder Rest: Elegant design, plus a patented Lateral Adjustment Clamping System, The Flex's feet are made from strong, flexible tool steel, to absorb stress rather transferring it to the instrument, Collapsible for easy storage. And the Flex remembers your adjustment settings; simply unfold it, and you're ready to start playing again.

- Shar Music® Dark Rosin: Preferred by players who desire a greater pull from their bow hair and a richer, more textured tone.

Franz Hoffmann™
You can hear the difference!

Beginnings are critical. That is why we are committed to offering the best student instruments to beginning players. We believe this commitment is why Hoffmann™ instruments have become so popular with teachers, schools, parents, and beginning students of all ages.

We designed Franz Hoffmann™ instruments to give you the absolute best student violins, violas, cellos, and basses available on the market today. The consistent quality in materials, construction, playability, tone, and visual appeal make them a great value for every beginning string student.

We have carefully designed and crafted each Franz Hoffmann™ instrument to ensure our specifications are met. These instruments are then sent to our Ann Arbor workshop to receive final adjustments, assuring easy playability and polished looks.
