W. E. Hill & Sons is a British firm based in London that specialises in violins and other string instruments,[1] and bows.
A Hill's Certificate of Authenticity is considered definitive worldwide throughout the firm's history and their publications on Stradivari and Guarneri are still industry standards.
Their other products included varnish cleaner, violin e-strings, rosin, peg paste, music stands, chinrests, and specialist tools.
Under the direction of Robert Brewer Young and Stefan-Peter Greiner, violins modelled after Stradivari - including the Messiah of 1716 - notable Bergonzis, and the work of Guarneri del Gesu are being made as part of the Hill heritage.
Derek Wilson, who joined Hill in 1978, oversees the making of bows that offer the excellence of an enduring English tradition.
