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.
Key Features
The Hidersine HEV1 electric violin is an excellent choice for those who need an electric instrument - without breaking the bank. Simply plug in a pair of headphones and play as if you were on an acoustic violin. It's that simple!
You may want the HEV1 violin for silent practice. But you also may want it to be louder than everyone else! With the 1/4'' output on the side of the violin, you can plug directly into an amplifier - just like a guitar. And with appropriate hardware and software, you can connect to your computer for infinite tonal possibilities.
To ensure you can start playing straight away, Hidersine has included all the relevant accessories. The HEV1 electric violin is shipped with a styrofoam case, bulletwood bow, 9V battery, and rosin so you can waste no time getting started.

No matter how you use the Hidersine HEV1 electric violin, it will always deliver a fantastic tone. If you need an instrument where you can practise in near silence, then simply plug in a pair of headphones. Thanks to the high-quality pick-ups, the HEV1 will sound just like a traditional violin, enabling you to practise in confidence, without disturbing those around you. However, the fun doesn't stop there...
If you're more of a loud and proud musician, then the HEV1 will let you crank it up! Plug it into an amplifier, turn it up to 11, and jam out to your favourite music. For even more tone control you can plug the electric violin into a chain of guitar pedals, or even into your computer so you can record and customise your sound by adding a variety of digital effects.
Although the HEV1 violin is a fantastic instrument for students, it can also be used by all string players - no matter what your standard. Being a Hidersine violin, you can be assured that it's built to the highest standard. And although the violin is not a traditional shape, the HEV1 has a traditional scale and construction of an acoustic violin, so any player can pick it up and play immediately.
More proficient players can choose the HEV1 as a backup or additional tool in their musical arsenal, choosing to use the Hidersine violin as an experimentation tool. Or perhaps you fancy busking, but don't fancy taking your vintage violin out on the streets. Just grab a small amp and your HEV1 and you're ready to go!
Although the Hidersine HEV1 is a modern-looking violin, it is built to the same exacting standards as an acoustic instrument of the same level. The top of the violin is made of spruce with maple back and sides, which helps produce a good resonant tone when amplified.
The pegs, fingerboard, and chinrest are made of genuine ebony. The use of ebony has long been a mark of a quality violin, as ebony is an excellent hardwood which can withstand the strain of high tension strings for a very long time. Therefore, not only do the fittings look and feel authentically traditional, they will last a lifetime of wear - unlike those instruments that use inferior wood, painted black to look like ebony.
Using a Piezo pickup located under the maple bridge of the violin, the Hidersine electric violin will reliably capture every nuanced detail of your playing style, whether audible externally through an amplifier or played discreetly through headphones. On one back of the instrument are the outputs - a 3.5mm jack output for connecting to amps, a 3.5mm mini-jack for use with headphones, plus a 3.5mm mic input. On the back is a preamp, where the volume is controlled along with bass and treble EQ controls. The battery compartment for the preamp is located in the back of the instrument, and this requires a PP3 (square) 9v battery to operate.
