The Stentor Standard Violin when set-up in our work-shop is a good instrument. Unlike many other economy-level instruments, the Stentor Standard violin is made to correct measurements and specifications. The violin is made from carved solid tonewoods and has a dyed fingerboard and hardwood pegs. As with all violins, improvements in tone can be achieved by fitting better strings. For this instrument, 'Dogal Green' or 'Thomastik Vision' strings would significantly improve the sound.

The violin workshop set up
Our workshop process ensures that your violin will be in good playing condition upon receipt. We make sure that the action is correct and that the bridge and soundpost are in the best position.
The bow is rosined by us and we play the instrument to make sure it is ready for use when it arrives. During transit, the moveable bridge is kept in the correct position by wedges. (These are easily removed.)
Do not buy student violins offered without this service, as instruments straight from the factory are NOT set up, and the process requires technical knowledge, experience and the right equipment.

Stentor violins are made from wood harvested from ecologically-controlled forests
