Höfner Model 5 Cello

Höfner Model 5 Cello

A quality student cello made in Germany isn't a relic of the past. With modern technical efficiencies and good old German know-how, the Höfner HOF-5 model is a great step-up cello that uses fully solid, lightly-flamed maple and aged spruce and a shaded golden-brown spirit varnish. This crisp, clean modern look is a refreshing alternative for some customers to more heavy “antiquing”.

Over the coming decades, Höfner's business grew to meet global demands, earning a reputation for high-quality craftsmanship and economically-efficient working methods. Now located at Hagenau in Bavaria, Höfner uses the traditional methods of violinmaking and bowmaking, tried and true for generations, to create a wide range of instruments and bows suitable for students as well as professionals.
