Features

  • Free from petrochemical solvents
  • W. E. Hill & Sons, London; the accessory line is made in England by the Hidersine Company

In practice

  • The maker expressly makes no tonal claims for this wax. It is about cleaning, care and preserving the surface.
  • Apply sparingly with a soft cloth. Wax left standing in gaps and purfling channels shows up later.
  • Do not use on open cracks, losses or retouching.

How to use

  1. Remove loose dust from the instrument first.
  2. Apply a small amount gently with a soft cloth.
  3. Polish off until the surface is even.

How it works

The varnish of a string instrument is built up in layers of ground varnish, colour varnish and top varnish, which in our workshop we finally polish to a high gloss.

All violins from our house carry spirit varnish. Small varnish defects are touched up with shellac or spirit-based retouching varnish, for example Herdim retouching varnish. A professional varnish repair does not change the sound.

Our experience

With an unfamiliar or unknown varnish we like to involve a violin maker before the first treatment. A flaw is closed most beautifully with retouching varnish by an experienced workshop, which we are glad to recommend for the purpose.

Frequently asked questions
