Hofner Violin Bass

For a variety of reasons, we have elected not to stock the Hofner Violin Basses. We have sold many of them and they are truly fine instruments. We continue to stock Hofner Archtops, Thinline and Acoustic Guitars.

For a list of dealers please contact Rob Olsen at rob.olsen@hofner.com. Or contact our favorite dealer, Dr Vox, at http://www.voxshowroom.com/northcoast
