Introducing the Stentor Student I cello
The Stentor Student I cello is a beautifully made beginner instrument. Unlike many other student cellos on the market, this instrument is hand carved using only solid tonewoods and natural glues to produce the best possible quality of sound for students on a budget.
This is an instrument that offers reliable, consistent performance and good tone, enhancing the learning process for the student. We recommend that this cello would see a beginner through to the middle grades.
Exceptional craftsmanship
Stentor have been the leading manufacturer of student stringed orchestral instruments worldwide for a long time. Founded in 1895, the company have since helped over one million beginners take their first steps into the world of string playing. Their instruments use spruce fronts and maple back and sides, specifically selected for their tonal qualities. On the Student I, the top is laminated and paired with hardwood fingerboard and pegs. Finally, the body has been coated in an amber brown varnish for a sleek finish.
Also included is a composite metal tailpiece with integral adjusters for fine tuning, and inlaid purfling to the top and bottom of the instrument. Purfling (strips of wood inlaid to the top and bottom plates of the cello) is not only decorative, but also means that a crack in edge of a plate will not spread, or a crack in the front can be glued without removing the plate entirely.
Our second-hand instruments
We pride ourselves in only stocking the highest quality at Chamberlain Music. Although second-hand instruments may have some small cosmetic signs of use, this is of no detriment to the quality construction and the dependable, balanced tone of the cello.
Assured quality
As with all second-hand instruments at Chamberlain Music, the cello has received a thorough check-over and a setup prior to dispatch so you receive a quality instrument, every time.
What's in the box?
The Student I cello comes as a complete outfit with brazil wood bow (with ebony frog and natural white horse hair) and a padded blue and grey nylon case with safety reflectors, accessory pockets and rosin. Shoulder straps are also provided, making it even easier to transport the cello to and from lessons or orchestral practices.
