Key Features
The perfect violin to take you into more advanced musical territory. The Hidersine Piacenza Violin is both a superb quality violin and a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship. This Piacenza is a full size violin with a stunning flamed maple finish.

Product Ref: 76984
Hidersine Piacenza violins benefit from a genuine ebony fingerboard and chin rest. This hardwood has traditionally been used for hundreds of years due to its sincerely long-lasting properties. Genuine ebony doesn't mark, pit or wear out under lengthy playing periods. Ebony should remain structurally intact for a very long time, and it will also feel smooth on the fingers and chin, helping make the playing experience more all round enjoyable.
The H100 strings are designed to compliment the finest instruments. The Hidersine Piacenza utilises a nylon core string (strings A, D & G), which produces a warmer sound with more distinctive overtones. The E string has a quality steel core, which produces a brighter, thinner sound.
Your new Piacenza will be supplied as an outfit, meaning it comes complete with everything you need to get started. The outfit will include a case, bow, and some rosin. The oblong styrofoam shockproof case with detachable straps will provide maximum protection, along with internal accessory compartments and an outer music pocket. The bulletwood half-mounted bow with ebony frog is of highest quality. There is a smooth metal plate between the frog and the bow stick, allowing a smooth fit and protection for the wood as it slides back and forth as the bow is tightened and loosened. This means that not only will the bow assist in producing a superb tone, it will also perform its role for a long time to come.
The company was founded in 1890 and has since been the go-to company of bowed instrument maintenance and care. The company really made their mark in this specialist market when they introduced Amy Birch's 'AB' Rosin in 1970 and the legendary W.E.Hill & Sons' rosins in the 1980's.
Hidersine Bowed Instruments round up all of the years of working with instrument luthiers, learning what is required by players at all the different levels of development. Gained from the years of work are the ESTA-chosen (European String Teachers Association), entry-level Vivente student outfit, the advanced Piacenza student outfit, and the degree students’ choice, the Veracini, plus many finer instruments. These instruments led Hidersine to develop the Hidersine Reserve range of one-off instruments for the connoisseur. Hand selected violins and cellos from workshops across Asia that shows off both a great value and exceptional craftsmanship.
The form of your Hidersine violin is the result of genuine hand-carving techniques. Not only have the intricate curves of the top, back and ribs been carefully tooled, but the neck and the beautiful head have also been skilfully crafted. Luthiers have been passing their immense skill down the line for centuries, and in the case of Hidersine Piacenza instruments, the skilled hand-carving techniques can be truly appreciated.
