Honouring Edwin Whitmarsh
Play a violin that captures a piece of history. The Hidersine Whitmarsh is a stunningly-crafted instrument inspired by classic British violin-making traditions. Edwin Whitmarsh was one of the best 20th Century craftsmen, his instruments beloved for their intricate detail and construction of premium tonewoods. You see these same traits in this gorgeous representation of the originals, with its flamed Maple back and ribs. These features will provide you with a tone that has been treasured for centuries.
Perfectly selected tonewoods
Each and every Hidersine replica violin is handcrafted by Hidersine's master luthiers. Although they all share common specifications, each replica violin is individually handmade and is therefore truly unique.
To ensure the Hidersine Whitmarsh violin produces the best possible tone, it is made from the tried and tested combination of flamed Maple and straight-grained Spruce. Not just any Maple and Spruce though. The Whitmarsh violin exclusively used premium European wood to guarantee a sublime tone. These woods produce a focused and powerful sound with plenty of body which will continue to improve over time.
Having top-quality fittings are essential for professional violinists. Not only do they increase the overall durability of the instrument, but they can also add an artistic flair to your instrument. It will come as no surprise to learn the Hidersine violin has an Ebony fingerboard - an essential for professionals. The pegs, tailpiece, and chinrest are also made of Ebony. What's more, the Whitmarsh violin includes a European flamed Maple bridge to enhance your tone.
You're ready to go
Nothing will hold up your performance with this complete setup. You'll be able to jump right in to playing with a fully mounted bow made from durable Bulletwood. Get your bow ready for playing with the included Hidersine rosin block so you can produce the smoothest tone. Then, pack it all up in your sturdy styrofoam oblong case, providing durable protection for your instrument as you travel between rehearsals, orchestra, and performances!
