Stentor Conservatoire 4/4

The Stentor Conservatoire is an intermediate quality violin imported from China by Stentor.

The instrument is nicely made with hand carved tone woods, Spruce for the front and lightly flamed Maple for the back, ribs and neck. The fingerboard, pegs and chinrest are of Ebony. The tailpiece is the standard Stentor light alloy offering with integral fine adjusters.

We have set-up this violin in our workshop, replaced the sound post and fitted a new set of Thomastik Dominant strings.

The set-up and new parts have improved both the sound and playability of the instrument. The G & D strings are full and warm and the A & E quite well focussed.  The strings are well balanced.  The slightly lower string action has made a big difference to the ease of playing, especially on fast passages.

The Bow is a reasonable quality octagonal Brazilwood variety with white horsehair.

The original oblong case has been damaged, so we have given this violin a brand new case with room for two bows and a new rosin. There is an external zipped compartment suitable for carrying music and detachable straps so that the case can be carried like a knapsack.

This violin has responded very well to our upgrade and is now a very good mid priced student outfit.

This violin is in great condition - only a couple of very small surface imperfections to the varnish.  This violin has been upgraded by ourselves with new bow and Thomastik Dominant Strings. Nice intermediate violin with good tone. Comes with Brazilwood bow, rosin and an excellent rectangular case with violin blanket.
