The Stentor Conservatoire viola outfit is chosen by intermediate players and above and often recommended by teachers as a step-up instrument for students. The instrument is made using an inside mould, giving fine detail and accuracy to the assembly of the body.
The outfit is supplied with a selected wood bow with natural white horsehair and full mounted ebony frog. Also included is a deluxe oblong lightweight case with integral cover, carrying strap, music pocket, fitted hygrometer and case blanket. High-quality rosin is included.
The Conservatoire is made with solid tonewoods and has a carved spruce front and finely carved flamed maple back and ribs, finished in Stentor's Shellac 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. The composite tail piece is metal with gold coloured screw integral adjusters, and the viola has a Teka pattern chin rest fitted. Additionally, this instrument is fitted with a higher-grade string than the Stentor student I and II, incorporating synthetic gut strings, which can vastly improve the tonal qualities of the instrument.
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.
