Handcrafted in Germany by Thomas Hoyer, the Hofner H225-FR is painstakingly modelled after the work of historic master luthier Francesco Ruggieri. Featuring master-grade tonewoods sealed with an expressively aged honey coloured spirit varnish, and beautifully appointed with rosewood and brass fittings. This violin produces a clear and resonant sound, with effortless response in all positions.
