W.E. Hill & Sons has crafted bespoke violins and bows by hand dating back to 1762. With its worldwide renown, the company has developed their String Instrument Varnish Cleaner to care for their creations. Here’s how to use it: apply a small amount to a cloth — musicians at Sweetwater prefer microfiber — and gently rub it into your finish until it’s dry. In the process, it will remove rosin buildup and preserve the varnish on your instrument. W.E. Hill & Sons also notes that their special blend is safe on modern and traditional varnishes.

La Bella's 680 violin strings shatter the price-to-quality barrier with superior performance and top-notch longevity. This set includes a plain steel, ball-end E string, aluminum A and D strings, and a silver-plated G string. Equally suited for bowing and pizzicato, 680s are excellent student violin strings. Grab a set of La Bella's 680 violin strings from Sweetwater. You'll be glad you did.
While La Bella strings are the top choice for world-famous musicians such as Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, and Ron Carter, their heritage reaches way back — almost four centuries back, starting in Salle, Italy, in the seventeenth century with the Mari family. They were famous throughout Europe and even supplied violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. Brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved their string operation to New York in the early twentieth century, and the modern-day foundation for La Bella strings was born.
