The Stentor Student I Viola outfit is probably the main teaching instrument in Britain’s schools. It is a suitable instrument for students in the very early grades. It is hand carved from solid tone woods with good quality rosewood pegs and fingerboards. The outfit includes a reliable wood bow and a well-designed lightweight case with integral shoulder rest and music pockets. Very good value for money.
