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, excellent manufacturing quality, and size, the Stentor Student II 4/4 violin is not only suitable for beginners. It is also recommended to all those who have "outgrown" the instrument they have been using up to now. The 7/8-sized violin is somewhere between a full-sized and a 3/4-sized violin, and is usually recommended for those taller than 1.40m or with an arm length of at least 58cm (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.

Stentor Geige für Anfänger

Renate aus S. 06.09.2016

Die Geige Stentor hat mich überrascht. Für wenig Geld so viel dabei? Der Bogen ist z.B. ganz ordentlich und die Geige hat mir sofort zugesagt. Liegt schön in der Hand, der Klang ist für einen Anfänger wirklich gut. Ich schätze sie als meine Reisegeige, ich habe noch eine Meister-Geige zu Hause. Die 7/8 Geige wollte ich, weil ich mich, bei Größe unter 1,60m, wohler gefühlt habe.

Joli, sonorité agréable, rapport qualité/prix incroyable.

Stradiviolon 25.10.2020

Etape proche du violon 4/4, aux dimensions idéales pour les violonistes qui n'ont pas de grandes mains, il est confortable. Il est joli, dans les tons bruns et j'aime son vernis brillant. Franchement, il sonne bien! Etui moderne et pratique qui peut se porter sur le dos. Pour le prix, qualité optimale! Je suis prof de violon et je recommande à mes élèves (comme beaucoup de mes collègues) la marque Stentor SR1500 pour toutes les tailles de violon. Je n'ai jamais été déçue. Merci!

Kein Instrument für den Konzertsaal, aber als Übungs- und Einsteigerinstrument sehr zufriedenstellend

RolfGuitar 07.02.2017

Was Stentor hier in dieser Preisklasse inklusive Etui und Bogen anbietet - und auch noch für Leute mit kleinen Händen, nämlich in 7/8 Größe - ist wirklich verblüffend. Aussehen und Verarbeitung sind makellos. Der Ton macht dem Anfänger das Üben leicht, da er angenehm und ausgewogen klingt. Es ist sicher keine Konzertgeige, aber auch für Fortgeschrittene, die ihr wertvolles Instrument schonen möchten, eignet sie sich sehr gut als Übungsinstrument.

Bra ljud

flindra 08.01.2020

Köpte denna för att vi har två barn i samma längd som egentligen båda behöver varsin 3/4-fiol. Helfiol blev för stort, så då blev det att köpa denna istället för att köpa en till 3/4-fiol som vi redan hade. Mycket nöjd! Prisvärt, bra ljud, bra skolfiol.

Vi har flera SR1500-fioler i olika storlekar hemma, och stråkarna brukar vara dåliga. Men den här stråken är faktiskt ganska hyffsad. Duger till att spela Vivaldi-konserter med i alla fall. När vi kommer till spiccato och sautillé får vi kanske skaffa en bättre stråke.
