Höfner-11E violin. With more time allotted for shaping the arches and carving the graduations of the plates, the Höfner makers achieve better acoustic response and a fuller tonal spectrum. The attractive spruce and maple are clearly seen through the more transparent ground coat and antiqued orange-brown spirit varnish. Includes ebony Parisian eye pegs and endbutton, Despiau "B" level French bridge, ebony tailpiece with E tuner, Guarneri model ebony chinrest, and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings. 4/4 only
