Classic Stradivari beauty
Experience the power of the most celebrated violins in history. Master luthiers have hand-crafted this Hidersine Espressione, inspired by iconic instruments from the Stradivari family. Antoni Stradivari created some of the most stunning violins in history, known for their deep red varnishing and precisely proportioned designs. The Espressione violins, with a unique varnish style and finish, provide you with the look and tone of these legendary instruments.
This powerful sound makes for the perfect performance instrument. Stradivarius violins feature elongated F holes and a longer, flatter design to produce the full-bodied sound needed in larger concert halls. The violin was being performed in these grander venues by the early 18th Century, and Stradivari violins had the volume, expression, and projection to match. This means the Hidersine Espressione is perfect for both your solos and orchestral performances, ensuring you'll always stand out in front of any audience.
Beautiful tonewoods
Play with the warmth of the finest woods. Hidersine bring out the best in the classic violin combination of Maple and Spruce. Hand-crafted by master luthiers, these woods create a high quality character and tonal quality that you'll only find in the best violins. The hand-carved solid Spruce table provides a great base for your sound to resonate with strength. Likewise, a hand-carved solid Maple back and ribs adds to your tone as well as looking refined and classic with gorgeous flaming. These materials and their treatment makes the Espressione Stradivari very faithful to the anatomy of the original instruments. The natural and balanced tone this produces is ideal for any orchestra.
Highest quality components
Every part of this violin is the highest standard. Ebony is a visually attractive and durable choice for the fittings and fingerboard of your Espressione instrument. The tight grain of Ebony requires no varnishing, making it the perfect hard playing surface for under your fingers. An Ebony chinrest and tailpiece adds to the dark, classic look of this instrument as well as providing a durable surface that remains in top condition. Tuning is simple on your highest, most delicate string with an E adjuster to make final touches. An Aubert bridge is the perfect addition, this French company creating very accurate and delicate pieces.
An outfit with everything you'll need
You're ready to go with this full outfit. A high quality bow made from sturdy Bulletwood means you can play as soon as your instrument arrives. This is especially true as with a Hiderside Rosin block, you can get your bow ready to make the best sounds. Pack everything away safely too with the Styrofoam oblong case. This Styrofoam serves as great protection for your instrument, giving you reassurance as you transport your violin.
