Pre-Owned Franz Hoffmann™ Koe Violin
As any dedicated violin teacher knows, a young beginner is in a particularly vulnerable situation: She requires a violin that is small enough to play, yet has a voice large enough to accommodate proper learning. Very often, this is the critical point at which a budding violinist will either be motivated or discouraged.
The new Franz Hoffmann Koe ("voice", in Japanese) is designed by a master teacher to help, not hinder, the small player. With its genesis in the 1/8, 1/10, and 1/16 sizes, the Koe is designed with up to 15% more internal volume than the usual fractional violins, releasing much more sound, not crushing under bow weight. Neck proportions and feel are traditional to facilitate small hand movement. Professionally set up with an Aubert bridge, a Wittner German tailpiece, and premium strings, the Franz Hoffmann Koe has a masterful fit and finish, including pegs designed to help inexperienced fingers develop tuning skills.
[This is a blemished instrument, therefore the instrument may have unspecified aesthetic marks, bruises, and scrapes and, as well, these will vary from instrument to instrument. However, all blemished set-up and verified by SHAR Music to be functional with no tonal defects. SHAR Music does not accept returns on blemished instruments.]
