Get to know them!

Patterned after a 1741 instrument by acclaimed Italian luthier Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri, the Hofner H225 Series Guarneri is a professional-level violin handcrafted from air-dried, oldest-stock, AAA Alpine spruce and European maple. The H225 Series Guarneri delivers everything you'd expect from a top-shelf Guarneri del Gesu violin: originality, spontaneity, and unequaled tonality. This exquisite violin includes an ebony Parisian eye end button and pegs, along with a Despiau ''A''-level French bridge, an ebony tailpiece with E tuner, and a Guarneri-model ebony chinrest. We're taken aback by the striking Hofner H225 Series Guarneri here at Sweetwater, and we're confident that players searching for a top-of-the-line Guarneri del Gesu instrument will be duly impressed.

Exquisite tonewoods

The H225 Series Guarneri was handcrafted from AAA Alpine spruce and European maple. Hofner chose the oldest-stock woods from their collection, which have been air-dried for decades. This superb violin features an antique oil varnish finish, ensuring an incredibly resonant tone and an eye-catching look that garners immediate attention.
