So now Höfner are doing a relic - H500/1-RLC-63-0. Basically Macca-spec with "secret varnish". I can assure you that every good violin maker knows the "secret".http://www.hofner.com/news/news/view/label/Violin%20Bass%20-%20%27Relic%27%20/
As long as the "secret" formula doesn't involve Heather Mills' bodily fluids, I suppose it's okay.
