Welcome to my profile! Here you’ll discover exceptional violins usually valued at £3,000+, now available at less than 70% of their price – part of a rare stock liquidation. (Check Profile) This is a full-size German violin, stamped “Hopf”, with a traditional Stradivarius-style label inside. It carries a warm antique varnish, a flamed back, and the characteristic look that makes Hopf violins so distinctive. The instrument has been kept in solid playing condition, fitted with good strings, and is ready to use. With its antique charm and reliable tone, it makes a fine choice for anyone looking for a genuine German violin with character.

Playing qualities. I have played the violin briefly to check the set-up and to assess the sound. It plays freely. Quite loud and resonant, and a good pleasant tone on all strings and in all positions.

Als typisches Werk der berühmten Hopf-Dynastie aus Klingenthal gibt sich diese antike Geige schon durch ihr typisches, leicht eckiges Modell zu erkennen. Antike deutsche Violine alte Geige. Die schöne Violine ist um 1880 in traditioneller klingenthaler Handarbeit dieser Zeit entstanden.
