The Hidersine Vivente Cello Outfit offers ambitious beginner and intermediate cellists an inspiring, high-grade student instrument built with genuine solid tonewoods and durable ebony fittings. Created to support players through their initial graded examinations and ensemble rehearsals, this thoughtfully constructed cello pairs a carved solid spruce table with solid maple back and sides, delivering a warm, resonant voice that matures as the instrument is played.
Solid Tonewood Construction and Resonant Voice
Unlike entry-level instruments built from laminated woods, the Vivente features a hand-carved solid spruce top paired with solid maple back and ribs. The solid spruce sound-table acts as a single, coherent vibrating structure, forming a rich, clear primary acoustic voice that continues to improve in warmth and projection as the tonewood ages. The solid maple back and sides reinforce low-end depth and mid-range clarity, while a graphic flamed finish gives the body the visual character of a traditional, higher-tier instrument.
Genuine Ebony Hardwood Fingerboard and Pegs
Designed to withstand rigorous daily practice, the Vivente is fitted with a genuine ebony fingerboard and tuning pegs. Unlike painted or ebonised softwoods that pit, mark, or wear down over time, dense hardwood ebony provides a smooth, tactile playing surface across all positions. The ebony tuning pegs maintain their structural integrity within the pegbox, ensuring stable friction and smooth tuning adjustments.
Lightweight Hardware and Mechanical Stability
To assist younger students and developing players with instrument handling, the Vivente includes weight-reducing hardware components. A Wittner Ultra lightweight composite tailpiece features four integrated fine tuners, allowing precise pitch adjustments without burdening the instrument with heavy metalwork. The carbon fibre endpin reduces overall physical weight while allowing the lower bout to vibrate freely for maximum acoustic resonance. A seasoned maple bridge and spruce soundpost ensure efficient string vibration transfer into the soundboard.
Complete Outfit with Bow, Padded Gig Bag, and Rosin
Supplied as a complete, ready-to-play outfit, the cello includes essential accessories needed to begin playing immediately. The package includes an octagonal bulletwood bow with half-mounted fittings, a block of Hidersine rosin, and a 10mm padded deluxe gig bag featuring bow holders, accessory pockets, and comfortable carrying straps. Every instrument is inspected and set up in UK workshops prior to dispatch, ensuring proper bridge positioning, nut height, and string action right out of the bag.
