Pre-Owned Franz Hoffmann Etude Violin

Our Etude has long been a popular choice with parents and teachers willing to spend a bit more for a warmer sound. Made by hand, finished with a spirit varnish to bring out even more of the sound, and set-up with premium Overture strings. This level of craftsmanship is not found on any other student violin in this price range. A solid spruce top, inlaid purfling, solid maple sides & neck, and ebony fittings all combine to make this an excellent student instrument. Available in 4/4 to 1/16 sizes.
