The Stentor Student II is now recommended by many education advisors as the optimum teaching instrument. The violin itself is of high quality, hand made in Stentor's unique workshop environment. Pegs, nut and saddle are ebony and the violin is fitted with good quality strings and metal tailpiece with integral adjusters. This violin has a solid ebony fingerboard which can be correctly shaped and profiled to maintain stability. The outfit is completed by a case with integral cover and carrying straps plus a good quality wood bow with ebony frog. Teachers in the UK and Europe, including members of the European String Teachers Association have acclaimed this outfit with great enthusiasm.
