Alfred Stingl by Höfner AS-060-V4/4 — Full-Size Student Violin Outfit
The Alfred Stingl by Höfner AS-060-V4/4 is a 4/4 full-size acoustic violin outfit for students starting or continuing traditional bowed-string lessons. An independent Alfred Stingl distributor catalogue identifies AS-060-V4/4 as a student outfit that includes a violin, bow and case. Unlike the AS-160E, it is not advertised here as an active electronic violin with a headphone connection.

Specification note: Barbad’s existing product information lists particular tonewoods, strings and bow materials, but a current Höfner manufacturer specification for the exact AS-060-V4/4 was not independently located during this review. Those details should be verified against the actual supplier unit and printed outfit label before treating them as guaranteed.
Is a 4/4 Violin the Right Size?
A full-size violin suits players with enough arm reach to hold it and use the left hand comfortably. Age is only a rough guide; a teacher can check whether the student can support the instrument without stretching or collapsing the wrist. Check bridge position, string height, peg operation, bow hair and the condition of the case when evaluating an outfit.
AS-060 Acoustic or AS-160E Electro-Acoustic?
Choose this AS-060 if you need a conventional acoustic instrument for lessons and ensemble practice. The Höfner AS-160E-V4/4 adds an active pickup and headphone jack, alongside a manufacturer-listed headphone and case package. The AS-160E is not silent; the AS-060 does not require a pickup to produce acoustic sound.
Before Ordering
Ask Barbad to confirm the exact bow, case, rosin and instrument setup included with the available AS-060 outfit, and check the size and finish of the individual unit. No showroom visit, custom setup, repair service or delivery time is promised by this listing.
