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.
The Stentor Conservatoire violin outfit is chosen by intermediate players and above and often recommended by teachers as a step-up instrument for students.
It offers a high standard at a reasonable cost. The instrument is made using an inside mould giving fine detail and accuracy to the assembly of the body.
The Conservatoire has a carved spruce front and carved flamed maple back and ribs, finished in Stentor’s Shellax™ varnish which has been developed over many years. With ebony fittings and traditional inlaid purfling, this responsive instrument is a high quality outfit often recommended for its sound.
It comes with a selected wood bow with natural white horsehair and full mounted ebony frog and a deluxe oblong lightweight case with integral cover, carrying strap, music pocket, hygrometer and case blanket. High quality rosin is included.
