The Stentor Conservatoire violin is often chosen as an intermediate violin by teachers suitable for anyone starting out or a player having some experience. The main advantage over the Stentor II range is the finer construction methods used and Stentor's Shellax fine varnish finish which ultimately allows the wood to move better increasing the tonal qualities,
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.
