Franz Hoffmann Amadeus Violin Starter Kit

The Franz Hoffmann™ Amadeus Violin: A Head Start For Beginning Musicians.

There are plenty of beginner violins for sale online, but if you want an instrument that will make a student love to play the violin, the Franz Hoffmann™ Amadeus violin is a great place to start.

When a student starts out on a violin of lesser quality, it's easy for them to get discouraged early, to blame themselves for problems caused by the instrument itself. With its superior construction and materials, the Amadeus violin helps students dodge these stumbling blocks.

Professionally set up and shop-adjusted at our own facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we at Shar strive to ensure that each Amadeus violin is among the best violins for beginners for sale. Each instrument is built from high-quality materials, featuring ebony pegs and fingerboard, a hand carved bridge, a durable nitro varnish, and a composite tailpiece with four fine tuners.

The Franz Hoffmann™ Amadeus Violin outfit includes:

• Durable Toshira™ foam-shell violin case with two backpack-style shoulder straps, to protect your instrument from impacts and fast changes in temperature
• High-quality Schmidt Workshop™ Brazilwood bow, ideal for beginning and intermediate players
• A cake of Shar Music® rosin, to help pull a clean sound
• The Empire™ shoulder rest, a traditional clamp-style rest that is sturdy and easy to use (fractional sizes include a Xeros™ shoulder cushion, ideal for players who are still growing)
• Shar Music ® 3-in-1 Metro-Tuner, to help you stay in tune and in time
• Shar Music® microfiber cleaning cloth to use when you finish playing, to keep your instrument in peak condition
• A pencil to make notes in your music, help you correct mistakes as you go, and for use as a “dry lubricant” when changing strings
• PinkyHold™, a helpful practice aid which guides your pinky’s placement on the end of the bow, helping you to develop good technique and stability
• Practice mute for keeping volume down while practicing at home
• Humidi Guard™ humidifier to keep your instrument more stable and in better condition
• Fingerboard tapes, to help students learn finger and thumb positioning
