The Hidersine Company was founded in 1890. Hidersine has been at the forefront of bowed instrument maintenance and care ever since. After the introduction of Amy Birch’s ‘AB’ Rosin into the Hidersine family in the 1970s, and the addition of the legendary W.E.Hill & Sons’ rosins in the 1980s, The Hidersine company has carved itself an enviable position in this specialist field of rosin.

In more recent years, The Hidersine Company has used its considerable experience to source and refine many bowed instrument accessories such as the highly regarded range of Brazilwood, Pernambuco and Carbon Fibre bows, the Oxbury and Maesbury shoulder rests, and a range of class-leading protective cases.

Likewise, Hidersine Bowed Instruments draw upon our years of working with instrument luthiers, learning what is required by players at each level of development. From this experience has come the ESTA-favoured, entry-level Vivente student outfit; the advanced Piacenza student outfit; the degree student’s choice, the Veracini; and many more fine instruments. These models also led us to develop the Hidersine Reserve range of one-off instruments for the connoisseur: hand selected violins and cellos from workshops across Asia that represents both incredible value and exceptional craftsmanship.
