DragonViolin - Ref # DV34-KH ----------------- KARL HOFNER VIOLINS In 1970s, Karl Höfner produced violins in four main grade categories: Student; Orchestra; Concert; and Master.

Price List for Year 1995 - Japan (1 USD ~ 100 yen at year 1995). Given prices for higher quality musical instruments have significantly increased since 1995, due to labor and premium tonewood inflation.

We only use best tone-wood, choice Bavarian spruce and European maple. The seasoning of the wood over years is standard. All trim is select ebony... Each instrument is carved from a solid block of wood and adjusted for best tone. The scroll and neck are hand-carved... Each instrument is meticulously crafted and graduated to ensure optimum performance. All instruments are finished with spirit varnish and hand rubbed..." Vintage Höfners are sought-after instruments and command solid prices in the secondary market. You may wish to search the internet for price points. Please make sure you look for "KH" models (produced before approximately 2000). For example, Brobst Violin Shop often has a good selection of vintage Höfner violins. If you search their website for Karl Höfner (browsing by maker), you will see a good representation of prices by model. Their prices for vintage Höfner violins range from $2,500 for the KH200 model to $10,000 for Master models. Please note that Höfner's senior models, which were hand made at their custom shop, should not be confused with the relatively inexpensive (but still excellent for their purpose) Student models that Höfner factory-produced in large quantities. Please also note that it is important to differentiate between the highly sought-after vintage Höfners (the model numbers start with "KH") and the contemporary Höfners which are readily available from retailers (the model numbers start with "H", such as H225 AS for example).
