The Franz Hoffmann™ Prelude Bass: Opening New Worlds for Young Musicians.

With its superior construction and materials, the Franz Hoffmann Prelude™ bass gives students more room to grow and progress.

When a student starts out on a cello of lesser quality, it's easy for them to get discouraged early, to blame themselves for problems that are actually caused by the instrument itself. Franz Hoffmann™ Prelude basses are some of the finest beginner basses for sale online, and are even a cut above Hoffmann’s own entry-level Amadeus line. This Shar-exclusive outfit is also packed with cool bass accessories, assembled to provide everything a bass student needs to progress on their path to musical excellence.

Every Amadeus bass is outfitted with D’Addario Helicore steel core strings, which provide a brilliant tonal quality that allows the player to hear intonation with greater ease while also being more stable and easy to tune.

Professionally set up at our workshop in Beijing, then inspected, fine-tuned, and shop-adjusted at our home facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we at Shar strive to ensure that each Prelude bass is among the best basses for beginners for sale. Each instrument is a high-quality laminate construction featuring geared pegs, an ebony fingerboard, a hand carved bridge with low-friction height adjusters, a durable nitro varnish, and a composite endpin.

The Franz Hoffmann™ Prelude Bass outfit also features:

• A Heritage™ padded instrument bag to protect your instrument from impacts and fast changes in temperature
• A high-quality Schmidt Workshop™ Brazilwood bow, ideal for beginning and intermediate players
• A cake of Carlsson® Swedish bass rosin, to help pull a clean sound
• A high-quality Sure Stop™ bass endpin stop to keep the instrument stable and in place
• Shar Music® 3-in-1 Chromatic Metro-Tuner, to help you stay in tune and in time
• Shar Music® microfiber cleaning cloth to use when you finish playing, to keep your instrument in peak condition
• A pencil to make notes in your music, help you correct mistakes as you go, and for use as a “dry lubricant” when changing strings
• A Tourte practice mute, for keeping volume down while practicing at home
• Humidi Guard™ humidifier to keep your instrument more stable and in better condition
