Hidersine Piacenza instruments not only have a solid top, but they also have a stunning solid, flamed Maple ribs and backs too. Plus, as the wood ages and the solid tonewood top gradually relaxes at a cellular level into its natural rest state, it will resonate even more naturally, and the sound will improve further. This is important because your instrument’s primary voice is formed by this sound-table, and therefore the top can resonate as a single, coherent structure and sound great as a result. Hidersine Piacenza instruments feature a hand-carved solid spruce top – or sound-table. Looks and sounds more beautiful throughout its life: Just tighten the hair, apply a little of the included Hidersine rosin, and the bow is ready to play… as you will be too.

When the strings needed to be tuned therefore, for the pegs to turn, they would have to be loosened, turned and then pushed back in. Traditionally, most bowed instruments are tuned using wooden pegs, which are ‘wedged’ into the wooden holes of the pegbox at the top of the instrument, with simple friction keeping them in place. But these discreet, internally geared pegs make life so much simpler for students too!
