Hidersine Venezia Violin Outfit

Description

Your Hidersine Venezia Violin is supplied as an outfit, which is to say it is complete with what you need to get started. The Violin is supplied in a shockproof case with internal accessory compartments and an outer music pocket. Most importantly, your Venezia outfit includes an upgraded, premium Fully-Mounted brazilwood bow. Just tighten the hair, apply a little Hidersine rosin, and the bow is ready to play.

Everyone loves an old, antique violin, viola or cello, and so using clever techniques developed over many years, the Hidersine Venezia has various ‘antique’ markers and is finished with a rouge-brown, oil varnish.

Hidersine Venezia instruments use seasoned maple for the bridges of each violin, the use of ‘seasoned’ tonewoods in musical instrument manufacture is well known. When a tonewood, such as maple, has been seasoned, it infers that the timber has been stored in a controlled environment for a reasonable period. .

Hidersine Venezia instruments feature a hand-carved solid spruce top – or sound-table. This is important because your instrument’s primary voice is formed by this sound-table, and therefore the top can resonate as a single, coherent structure and sound great as a result. Plus, as the wood ages and the solid tonewood top gradually relaxes at a cellular level into its natural rest state, it will resonate even more naturally, and the sound will improve further.

Hidersine Venezia Violins and Violas not only have solid tops, but they also have beautiful solid, flamed Maple ribs and backs too. These highly figured, solid tonewood sections further enhance the instrument’s natural tone. The top produces the instrument’s primary voice, and the back and sides add the character.

Hidersine Venezia Violins also benefit from a genuine Ebony fingerboard, pegs and chin rest. This prized hardwood has traditionally been used for hundreds of years due to its truly long-lasting properties. Unlike dark-stained or ‘ebonized’ softwoods often used on inferior instruments, genuine Ebony will not mark, pit or wear out under lengthy playing periods.

“Finishing this hand-carved instrument with a traditional oil-based varnish accentuates the natural beauty and detail of the selected spruce and maple, and the addition of upgraded fittings completes this superb instrument.” – Hidersine
