However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Hidersine Piacenza cellos 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.
Hidersine Piacenza 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.
Your new Hidersine Piacenza cello features a carbon fibre endpin. This helps to reduce the cello's overall weight, therefore making it easier for handling and transport. Plus, the carbon fibre endpin allows the instrument to resonate more thoroughly.
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 padded gigbag/carry case with accessory compartment and music pocket will provide maximum protection and be of great convenience whilst travelling. 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 violas 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 Piacenza instruments, the skilled hand-carving techniques can be truly appreciated.
