We have chosen the Stentor I cello as our entry instrument because of its superior build quality when comparing it to similar instruments.
Stentor have over 100 years of history and since the 1960’s over two million people have started their musical journey using a Stentor instrument.
The Stentor I cello range combines the knowledge and skills drawn from all those years of experience, and offers any beginner a solid, well made, and deep sounding instrument.
All our cellos are set up correctly before leaving us. We adjust the tuning pegs, bridge fitting, string height and more. We also fit quality strings (D’Addario Prelude RRP £77)
The cello comes complete with everything you need including bow, rosin, & case.

What Stentor Say
The Stentor Student I is an ideal first cello for students up to middle grades. This is an instrument that offers reliable, consistent performance and good tone, enhancing the learning process for the student. Each cello is carved from solid tonewoods with inlaid purfling and good quality dark pau rosa pegs and ebonised fingerboard. It is fitted with a composite tailpiece with integral adjusters for easy tuning. The outfit includes a reliable wood bow with natural horsehair and an ebony frog. The cello is protected in a well-designed padded blue and grey nylon cover with safety reflectors, bow and accessory pockets and back straps
What makes our cellos different?
What makes our Cellos Different?
We don’t just rent any instrument, we want to encourage the player to learn and enjoy, so we take a good quality instrument and then:
- Adjust the height of the bridge and nut. (Too high and the strings are hard to press down. Too low and they buzz on the fingerboard)
- Check the curve of the bridge. (Too shallow and you play 2 strings at once, too high and you catch the wood at the edge.)
- Check the fit of the pegs. (Too loose and the instrument won’t stay in tune. Too tight and it’s very difficult to tune!)
- Check the fit and position of the soundpost. (Too tight and it can crack the cello. Too loose and it will keep falling down. The sound is stifled if it is positioned incorrectly.)
- Fit high quality strings for increased sound quality. (RRP 77.00)
- We swap out the factory supplied bow, with a quality P&H bow.
