Stentor Student II viola

Stentor have earned an illustrious reputation throughout the years for producing good quality orchestral stringed instruments. The refinements they have made to the manufacturing processes, and their growing team of expert luthiers allow them to maintain excellent standards while keeping affordability at the forefront of their brand.

The Student II is a hand-carved viola designed for students of any standard. With a full tone and reliable durable fittings, it comes highly recommended by teachers all over the world. The viola’s body is constructed from maple with a solid spruce top, and the whole instrument is finished with a protective varnish. Each panel of wood used has been carefully selected to ensure the best possible tone.

Durable ebony pegs and fingerboard ensure long lasting playability, and inlaid purfling completes the traditional appearance while preventing any cracks from spreading across the viola. Every instrument is fitted with flexible synthetic core strings and a robust composite tailpiece with integrated fine tuning screws.

A well-balanced brazilwood viola bow and a block of rosin are delivered as part of the outfit. The bow features an ebony frog and is strung with natural white horse hair. Each complete package also includes a lightweight shaped case with a detachable shoulder strap. Cases contain a clip for a second bow and plenty of room for spare strings and accessories. The Stentor Student II viola is available in two sizes – ask your viola teacher if you’re unsure what size you should choose.
