Up for sale is a fantastic Franz Hoffmann Prelude full-size (4/4) violin outfit. Sourced and backed by Shar Music, the Franz Hoffmann Prelude is universally recognized by string educators across North America as one of the most reliable, properly specified student instruments on the market.

Unlike cheap, unbranded factory violins that are frustrating to tune and hold pitch, the Prelude is setup to strict educational standards. Carved from solid tonewoods, it provides a bright, clear, and encouraging tone that helps developing players master proper intonation and bow technique.

Materials & Craftsmanship Highlights

• Solid Wood Construction: Features a carved solid spruce top and solid maple back/sides, allowing the instrument to resonate freely and project a warm, authentic acoustic voice.
• Premium Hardwood Fittings: Outfitted with a genuine ebony fingerboard and high-quality pegs that resist slipping, making daily tuning vastly easier.
• Composite Tailpiece: Equipped with a lightweight composite tailpiece featuring four built-in fine tuners for precise pitch adjustments on the fly.
• Resilient Spirit Varnish: Coated in a durable, attractive spirit varnish designed to withstand the rigors of school orchestra transportation and daily practice.

Condition & Playability Profile

This violin outfit is in honest, used good condition:

• Cosmetic Status: Shows light, normal cosmetic signs of player wear consistent with a well-cared-for 2013 model. Expect minor surface finish scratches or tiny handling marks, but nothing that detracts from its clean presentation.
• 100% Structurally Sound: There are absolutely no cracks, open seams, neck heel separations, or structural compromises. The soundpost is up and securely in place.
• Bow & Case: The included student bow retains healthy hair with a straight stick, and the lightweight hard case features clean zippers, secure interior storage, and a protective shell to keep the instrument insulated.

What’s Included

• Franz Hoffmann Prelude 4/4 Violin (2013)
• Fitted Student Bow
• Lightweight Protective Hard Shell Case

Reverb Packaging & Shipping Guidelines

• White-Glove Acoustic Packing: Violins require careful stabilization for transit. Prior to packaging, string tension will be dropped slightly to safeguard the bridge and soundpost from shifting under travel vibrations. The violin will be securely nestled inside its hard case with added padding around the scroll and tailpiece. The case itself will be wrapped heavily in bubble wrap and suspended inside a sturdy shipping box packed with shock-absorbent void fill.
• Fast & Insured Shipping: Ships promptly with carrier tracking updates and full shipping insurance included.
