Recommended by teachers and music services for its quality and reliability, the Stentor Student II viola is a wonderful instrument for the advancing student and is a real step up from the Student I model. The viola is carved from solid tonewoods, in Stentor's unique workshop environment, with a spruce front and maple back, neck and ribs. This produces an instrument with good tone, a responsive sound and reliable performance.
The pegs, nut and saddle are ebony to allow much better overall playability and tuning stability, and the viola is fitted with flexible core strings and a quality composite tailpiece with integral adjusters. The ebony body and fingerboard provide excellent form and stability that are crucial when learning a new instrument. The varnish on this viola is gold-brown coloured and all Stentor's instruments have inlaid purfling.
The Stentor Student II comes complete with a lightweight case with burgundy red integral cover with safety reflectors. With a fitted interior and accessory pocket, two bow holders and a case blanket, carrying straps, a full lid music pocket and external shoulder rest pocket; this viola case contains everything you need to get started. It also comes with a high-quality student wood bow with natural horsehair and full mounted ebony frog.
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.
