Heritage Series Violins

Heritage Series Violins have been designed to produce modern interpretations of the iconic instruments of the past, such as the Stradivari and Guarneri designed string instruments. They are all manufactured by the master luthier Xue Ping Hu of Beijing using only the highest quality tonewoods and materials, hand selected to best recreate the incredibly desirable tonal characteristics of the much sought after designs, while utilising modern technology to provide resilience and long lasting instruments for advancing players and professionals.

We offer a range of options available within the heritage range, which vary from instrument only, to bespoke outfits assembled by our in house string specialists. All the Heritage range undergo a Gold Level set up with either Pirastro or Larsen Strings, specifically selected to match the tonal characteristics of the violin, while also providing maximum playability for the performer. They are all also fitted with selected components such as Hill and Guarneri tailpieces, to ensure the maximum potential of each instrument can be brought out by the performer.
