Hidersine Veracini Cello Outfit, Full Size

Full Description

The Beauty of Ebony

Hidersine Veracini cellos benefit from a genuine ebony fingerboard and chin rest. This hardwood has traditionally been used for hundreds of years due to its truly 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.

Seasoned Maple

Hidersine Veracini cellos use seasoned maple for the bridge. 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. When wood is initially harvested, it has a high moisture content, which over time will evaporate. This lowering of moisture content is one of the most important parts of the seasoning process, and as the wood is formed into the bridge, it brings with it a new natural state for the material. The new natural state allows the wood fibres to settle into a more combined whole and will transmit vibration and resonance more effectively. Therefore, the string vibrations are carried through the bridge to the sound-table more authentically, which will result in further improvement of the tone of your cello.

Steel Strings

Hidersine Veracini cellos use quality steel strings as they're the most stable and durable of all cello strings. They produce a brighter, thinner, and more focused sound, whilst offering stable pitch and the highest volume.

Provided With Everything You'll Need!

Your new Veracini 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 padded gigbag/carry case will provide maximum protection, along with an external bow pocket and accessory pocket. The bulletwood fully-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 Hidersine Company

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 cello 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 Venezia instruments, the skilled hand-carving techniques can be truly appreciated.
