The Andreas Zeller is a Romanian made instrument and an example of the high quality and craftsmanship available in today's violin market. The Zeller range has been developed by Stentor over many years to meet the need for a good European made student outfit, at a reasonable price. The result is a Romanian instrument made with the correct dimensions across the violin, and correct thickness of the woods used, including the soundboard which in turn enables the Zeller to offer an outstanding quality and tone.
Before the violin leaves us, we set up the violin to a professional standard. We fit the pegs correctly, adjust the string height and fit the bridge accurately making the violin easier to tune and play.
The factory fitted strings are up-graded to D'Addario Helicore (RRP £56.00) increasing the depth of tone and tuning stability.

What is a lip plate & riser?
All flutes have a lip plate and riser to blow across. The material they are made with can make a huge difference to the sound of the flute.
Most student flutes have historically only had silver plated lip plate and riser, but now quality student flute will often have .925 silver plates and riser.
What is .925 silver?
Simply, pure silver would be too soft and easily damaged. When 92.5% of pure silver is mixed with 7.5% of other metals (often copper, nickel or zinc) the resulting alloy is called sterling silver. ... In other words, .925 is the same as sterling silver, but not solid and therefore no stamp.
