The perfect companion for getting started

The Stentor Student II violin is the ideal instrument for students who want to kick-start their violin career with a high-quality instrument. The Stentor violin is carefully crafted by hand from various solid woods, so that each individual instrument is unique. The body and neck of the instrument are made of maple, the top from spruce, and the tuning pegs and fingerboard are both made of ebony, while the chinrest is crafted using hardwood. The result of this fine selection is a very well-defined sound that radiates depth and warmth. To simplify tuning, the tailpiece, which is made of a composite material, has four fine-tuners. The included wooden bow is strung with carefully selected natural horsehair that converges on an ebony frog. In combination with the supplied gig bag, this instrument is the perfect partner for entering the wonderful world of violin music.

A focus on quality

The tonewoods that form the basis of instrument making are dried for at least three years before being processed to ensure quality, stability, and above all a great sound. Stentor uses only natural adhesives to glue its many components, so that repairs can be carried out without hassle in the future - artificial adhesives cannot normally be removed in a precise manner. During production, all individual parts are marked, sawn to size, planed, and glued by hand. In order to guarantee the tonal quality of the final product, the thickness and quality of the material are re-measured repeatedly at numerous positions and at various stages of the manufacturing process.

Sometimes size does matter

Thanks to its great sound and manufacturing quality, the Stentor Student II violin is not only suitable for beginners, but because of its size it will probably be most popular among them. The quarter-sized violin is suitable for players over 1.20m tall or with an arm length of 45cm or longer (if in doubt, ask an experienced violinist for a personal assessment). This violin comes with everything you need (bow and gig bag with separate material compartment), which makes it particularly interesting for price-conscious yet ambitious (aspiring) violinists.

About Stentor

Stentor is a UK-based world leading manufacturer of stringed instruments. Thanks to their easy playability and good sound, Stentor violins, violas, cellos, and double basses are widely recommended to their students by music schools and instrument teachers everywhere. The product range extends from beginner to professional-level instruments. For more than five decades, Stentor’s violin makers have been continuously developing and improving their instruments and have always consulted music teachers while doing so. And their success cannot be ignored: Over half a million musicians began their musical careers with a Stentor instrument.

"I can do more than Classical music!"

The rumour that the violin is an instrument only suitable for Classical music has been outdated ever since David Garrett hit the stage. The violin, needless to say, originated in a time long before the invention of musicals and film music - but that is exactly where it fits in perfectly nowadays, just as much as it does in chamber music, in the orchestra, in folk and dance music and, of course, as a solo instrument! As it has had a major influence on the development of many of these musical genres (and still does), there is a great deal of literature dedicated to it. With this Stentor violin set, the gates to the world of violin music are wide open.

Excellent quality student violin
Allalouff 22.04.2017
This is an excellent quality violin for begginers. My daughter has been playing for months now a cheap rubbish version offered to us by the music school. When I asked the teacher why the sound was so awful after so many months of playing she told me that it was not my daughter's fault but the cheap violin was to blame. So I desided to buy a better quality one and took my chance on this one. My 5 years old daughter was very pleased, the sound is great, she told me that her new violin sounds like a "princess voice" and not like scratching your nails on the blackboard!!!
Our music teacher is also very pleased with it, the violin is easily tuned and stays tuned for longer than the schools cheaper versions.
The violin bow is also of an acceptable quality for a begginers violin, made of real horse hair and not synthetic.
The storage case is also well made .
In conclusion, I am very pleased, I would recommend this instrument to all violin begginers , I will definitely buy the same model when we will need the 1/2 size, very good quality for the price!

Déçu, après une bonne expérience
MusiqueEnScène 24.10.2017
Après avoir acheté ce modèle en 4/4, j'ai acheté le modèle en 1/4 pour la location. Bien entendu, on ne peut pas s'attendre à avoir la même projection sonore, ni le même timbre, mais quand-même pas à ce point! C'est une petite caisse, je concède, mais un tel écart entre le violon 4/4, qui sonne super pour le prix, et son enfant en 1/4 cloche. Il doit y avoir un soucis à un endroit. L'épaisseur du bois de la table me semble disproportionné par rapport à la taille de l'instrument, le chevalet, beaucoup trop épais était de travers, les cordes distendues et montées de travers sur les chevilles, les cordes plutôt à changer. On voit bien que personne n'y a regardé chez Thomann avant de l'envoyer. J'ai dû garder le violon car l'élève l'attendait avec impatience, mais si j'avais pu me douter de ce qui viendrait, je n'aurais pas dépensé plus de 50 ¤, et encore.
Cherchez un autre modèle, ou prenez une boite à camembert.
Première déception pour moi chez Thomann, en 8 ans et d'innombrables achats pour l'école.

enttäuschend
Maximilia 21.12.2018
Diese Geige wurde sicher nicht vom Geigenbauer kontrolliert. Der Steg war nicht in der Mitte eingestellt, die Saiten niemals gestimmt worden. Die Saiten, insbesondere die G Saite sind von sehr schlechter Qualität - viel zu weich. Dadurch ist der Klang nicht gut. Ich bin enttäuscht, denn die zuletzt von Thomann bestellte / gekaufte 1/8 Geige Stentor SR 1400 war billiger und um einiges besser, und es machte 2 Jahre eine Freude damit zu spielen.
