Franz Hoffmann® Danube Violin Deluxe Outfit
The Franz Hoffmann® Danube Violin Deluxe Outfit brings the warmth and character of European craftsmanship to your child’s musical journey. Crafted in the heart of Europe from carefully aged wood from the Carpathian forest — a region celebrated for producing some of the finest tonewoods in the world — the Danube is hand-finished with a durable oil varnish that allows the tone to blossom over time. Fitted with an adjustable tailpiece and Overture® Premium strings, each Danube is inspected and shop-adjusted by Shar Music’s expert luthiers in Ann Arbor, Michigan before it reaches your hands.
This deluxe outfit pairs the Danube violin with a premium accessory bundle, giving students and parents everything they need from day one:
- Franz Hoffmann® Danube violin, hand-crafted from aged Carpathian tonewoods with oil varnish
- Ebony fingerboard, pegs, and chinrest
- Adjustable tailpiece with integrated fine tuners

- Overture® Premium strings
- Schmidt® Brazilwood Violin Bow with genuine horsehair
