Get the best start you can:
When you’re starting out on an unknown journey, such as learning a new musical instrument, it’s understandably tempting to go for the very cheapest option possible ‘just to see how it goes’. But, deep down we all know that it’s not actually the best idea… and that’s why we created the Inizio.
Having a proper instrument on which to start learning will undoubtedly help you or your child get the very best results possible. If you have an instrument that hasn’t been set up properly, or one that hasn’t been built as well as it should, no matter how much practise you do, it isn’t going to sound any better.
Built to withstand the rigours of school, while still sounding great:
Made with a laminated Spruce top and Maple back and sides, the Hidersine Inizio violin is made with strength and resilience in mind. Perfect for the often long and arduous journeys to and from school or music lessons. The included, shaped Styrofoam case aids the instrument’s protection greatly, and can help withstand the rigours of the school bus!
Complete with everything you need:
Your Inizio violin is supplied as an outfit, which is to say it is complete with what you need to get started. The violin itself will be supplied with strings, and with the bridge in the ‘down’ position. This means that you need to either ask the teacher to set the bridge for you, or ideally, when buying from your local music store, ask them to set the bridge for you. Then if you have any questions in the future, you can always return to the same store and they’ll gladly help you out.
Also included is a Styrofoam, shaped case with space inside for a couple of accessories. The case will have a zipped opening and a comfy handle too.
Most importantly, your Inizio Violin outfit also includes a Bulletwood bow, without which no sound is possible. Just tighten the hair, apply a little rosin, and the bow is ready to play… as you will be too.
Key Features:
Laminated Spruce top and Maple Back and Sides:

About us
About us
Founded in 2002 by Bryce Ferguson, Edinburgh Music Centre began as Brass and Woodwind — a small, specialist workshop in southwest Edinburgh dedicated to professional-grade instrument care.
With a four-year apprenticeship and over two decades of hands-on experience, Bryce developed expertise in brass, woodwind, and string instrument repair and restoration. His vision: to create a centre where musicians could rely on world-class service, personal care, and honest advice.
Today, Edinburgh Music Centre has grown into one of the UK’s best-equipped and most trusted instrument workshops, serving students, educators, orchestras, and professionals across Scotland and beyond.

Our Workshops
Having studied orchestral instrument restoration in 1995 for 3 years and a further 4 years apprenticeship, I opened Brass and woodwind in a small workshop in south west Edinburgh.
We have grown and now have 3 workshops for brass woodwind and string instruments, along with chemical and ultrasonic cleaning room and a pro polishing room, I believe it to be the finest and best equipped musical instrument restoration workshop in the UK.
