The Stentor Student Standard Violin is a good, but basic, instrument. However, unlike many other economy level instruments, the Stentor Student Standard Violin is made to correct measurements and specifications. The violin is made from carved solid tonewoods and has a dyed fingerboard and hardwood pegs. As with all violins, improvements in tone can be achieved by fitting better strings. For this instrument ‘Thomastik Vision’ strings would significantly improve the sound.
