I bought the violin for my grandaughter. We also bought the 1/2 size from you last year. She seems pleased with it as does her teacher. I am not in a position to review it as an instrument.

The Danube violin echoes of European tonewood

The Danube Franz Hoffman violin has easily visible tight-grained European tonewood that is conducive for warm pleasing overtones that echo much like the history of the past of the aforesaid river in Europe. What a charming narrative can be told with the sound production generated via the strings lower in proximity to the fingerboard. Playability with warm overtones is within reach of your fingertips and one not need overreach in ones budget given the cost of this violin. Such character makes this violin worthy of consideration among a field of fine instruments and little is compromised making this selection. It embodies everything a well made violin should on ones violin journey and will better serve you as you advance and progess.

Love this violin!

I am a parent that is learning violin because I always wanted to and my daughter plays. I started with an MV200 off Amazon and would get frustrated because I felt like the violin never gave me a great sound. After buying and trying this violin, I can easily
distinguish it from my MV200 and it is easier to play (I think because of the larger bridge, maybe other reasons). I love how it sounds!

Sings sweetly!

It sounded muffled and mediocre with the Overture strings (originally strung by Shar Music). However, after I put on the new Corelli Cantiga strings, this violin truly sings...! Its sweetness reaches deep into the soul...! Now, I truly love it, and won't trade it for even a more expensive violin! Listen to this tune, and you will agree.

One word: Amazing

In person, its color is a pretty shade of orange-reddish oil varnish. Amazingly resonant, but clean and focused sound. I bought a 3/4 for my kid, but it sounds like a 4/4 violin! Set up done right; easy to play. The violin stays in tune. Overture Premium strings get in tune quickly. On the violin we got, these strings sound balanced between warm and bright, with decent overtone.
