Having become synonymous with high quality student instruments, Hidersine have taken arguably their most popular violin outfit - the Veracini - and tweaked it a little. The result is the Hidersine Firenze.

Featuring a carved spruce top and beautifully sculpted flamed maple back and sides, the instrument is finished off with a traditional varnish, as unlike the Veracini, the Firenze does not have an antiqued finish.

As you would expect from an advanced student instrument, it is fitted with synthetic core strings, the fingerboard is ebony, and the other fittings are also solid, quality timber. The outfit is completed with a good quality brazilwood bow, and a protective oblong case.

Originating from the Hidersine House of Strings in just outside Shanghai, China, the Firenze is the latest addition to a growing number of Hidersine Instruments. Although founded in England upon the strength of the famous rosin, the Hidersine brand has grown into a formidable force in bowed instruments and accessories with a wide selection of products available throughout the world.
