The best in class just got better.

In partnership with Connolly Music, the Franz Hoffmann Concert lineup has been refreshed to include premium Alphayue strings from Thomastik-Infeld. Alphayue is a breakthrough string for students of all levels – the number one choice for aspiring artists! Alphayue delights with sound qualities never before available at this price point. A high-tech synthetic core married with renowned Thomastik-Infeld quality delivers a rich, sophisticated sound palette impossible to achieve with steel core strings.

This beautifully hand carved violin is finished with a quality spirit varnish to bring out the best sound from the aged tonewoods. Consistent quality, playability and visual appeal, combined with its value, make the Concert a violin that stands out. Made by our partner workshop in China, each Concert is inspected and fully adjusted in Ann Arbor. In 4/4 - 1/8 sizes.

Good Violin for the Price

The quality and sound for the price is good. The only negative was that the E string broke after few uses. When trying to tune using a tuner, the string snapped when it went over E. I don't think it went over E#. Maybe this string was just defective. I've tuned guitar for over 40 years, so know a little about tuning stringed instruments. The we had to steal a string from the old violin. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

where's the case?

Violin looks fine, was just surprised that it didn't come with a case or bow. Every other violin we've purchased here came with a case. Pretty annoying

Concert Review

Purchased as a discounted blemished instrument for traveling. It was damaged by heat according to a tag on it. There were two impact dents on it and the finish seems dull. There are some areas of rough spots due to heat I suppose. It smelled like glue for several days. Refuses to stay in tune overnight. Regardless, the sound is adequate. Not loud, rather subdued and lifeless. Using a wood bow helps. Changing to Dominates helped too. I don't think I'd buy it if I played it first, but decided to keep it since it was so cheap.

Good beginning violin

So I decided one day to try my hand at the violin. So far, I have been super impressed with this one, being my 2nd, I also got an electric one so that I could practice in my apartment and now I kinda wish I would have just got this one first. Super happy
with it!! Was a little miffed that the week after I bought it, they came out with a package sale with case and bow but it is what it is. Even with the case and bow the whole deal was under $500. Can't complain :)
