The Hopf family, one of the most well-known names in Germany lutheier, originated in Klingenthal, Germany, with Caspar Hopf (1650-1711) being one of the earliest known luthiers in the family. This family became prolific in the violin-making trade from the late 17th century through the 19th century. Over this period, the Hopfs produced a wide range of instruments, often noted for their distinctive square design and arching. Hopf violins are still sought after for their historical significance and unique sound qualities
