What’s in a Name?<br />
Plenty!<br />
Let’s face it, you can easily find a beginner or<br />
student violin on the web... e-commerce and open<br />
borders have expanded choices and pushed down<br />
prices. But the old adage, “let the buyer beware”<br />
has become more important than ever. It seems<br />
everyone sells an “Etude” or a “Maestro”<br />
violin. How can you keep it straight and<br />
get the best instrument? The answer<br />
is simple: Insist on a Franz<br />
Hoffmann instrument.<br />
Does your student need a<br />
more advanced instrument?<br />

Franz Hoffmann ®<br />
Concert<br />
A powerful, soaring sound will impress audiences,<br />
and reward the rapidly growing violinist!<br />
see page 26<br />
For years, teachers and schools have trusted Franz Hoffmann instruments to help<br />
bring out the best performances in their students. Consistent quality, playability,<br />
visual appeal and value have been the hallmarks of the Franz Hoffmann series. The<br />
new and exciting Hoffmann Concert violin continues this tradition with a beautiful,<br />
hand-carved and hand spirit-varnished violin.<br />
Our goal with the Hoffmann Concert was to produce a violin with a powerful,<br />
soaring sound and inspired good looks! We worked closely with our partner<br />
workshop in China and our expectations were high. Then, we field tested hundreds<br />
of Concert violins with our most demanding customers: schools and students!<br />
The result was nearly unanimous acclaim . . . and multiple school reorders!<br />
