I didn't want to spend out on a more expensive violin to begin with, until I was sure I wanted to continue playing longer term. The Stentor 1 or 2 was what was recommended by a number of reviewers, plus the Online Piano & Violin Tutor on You Tube, who's lessons I've been using to teach myself during the lockdown. In the end I settled on the Stentor 2, as I felt that the music played in all of the videos using the Stentor 2, sounded slightly smoother and a richer in tone, than when played on the Stentor 1. Violins can sometimes sound like a bag of screeching cats to begin with, so for both our families sake, and that of our neighbours, I felt the less scratchy the better, and I have in deed found this violin to be much smoother and nicer sounding than the rubbish one I had back in school. We found the violin tuned up very well, first time around. I asked my more musically experienced other half to tune it for me, so as to make sure I was starting out with the correct notes. He used an online violin tuning video and his musical ear, and didn't have any trouble or break any strings - apparently the trick is small, slow and steady turns, and to use the fine tuners, so as not to put too much strain on the strings! I think spare strings would have been a good extra in the starter package, especially for the beginner, as it's quite easy to break the strings when tuning if you haven't done it before. I'll be investing in a digital tuner that attaches to the body of the violin for a more accurate tuning (D'Addario PW-CT-14 NS Micro Violin Tuner) for when I have to re-tune the violin by myself. I will also be purchasing a decent shoulder rest, at the minute I'm using a folded tea towel as padding during practice - I had forgotten how much violins can dig into your collar bone! One other thing that I will mention, is that there are better quality rosins available to buy, such as Sartori resin, which is expensive but it lasts for years. The one that comes free with this Stentor 2 violin is ok, it makes the bow work, but there are better quality rosins out there which is important for sound quality. At a later date, as I progress, I'll probably invest in a set of better quality strings - such as D'Addario Prelude 4/4 Scale Medium Tension Violin String Set, to replace the ones the violin came with, though I think they are fine to start off with. All in all, for a relatively cheap starter violin, the sound is nice, it tunes up well, it arrived quickly, and it looks good. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Be careful tuning it however, so as not to break the strings. Best to either watch a few videos on 'violin tuning' on You Tube or, if you are having lessons, wait and your tutor will help you. **Q: do you have a 1/2 violin** A: Stentor definitely sell half size violins on Amazon. Just put it in the search box. **Q: It doesn't look as if the Stentor 2 has fine tuners, even on the E string. Can someone confirm this please?** A: There are fine tuners on all four strings, they're just black in colour so don't stand out in the picture provided. I got this violin for Christmas, am really pleased with it - just doesn't have a shoulder rest included, so make sure you have one when you buy! **Q: Does the violin come with the case shown in the first picture?** A: Yes, it does. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy *by M***. on 6 November 2020* Having not played a violin for over 30 years, I was very undecided between buying the Stentor 1 or Stentor 2 student violin, as there appeared to be very little discernible difference between them both, other than 1 being cheaper than 2.

Absolutely perfect. *by T***S on 13 February 2015* I decided to order the Stentor II after reading a lot of positive reviews about it online. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed in this. The build quality is brilliant, it looks stunning. It is pretty lightweight and comfortable to hold and most importantly it sounds great. The tuning is pretty easy, and it holds quite well. Not sure what grades are equivalent too; This is advised as a student violin and I have bought this to work through the Suzuki Violin Series. I am currently on book 3 now (after many, many hours of practicing on this) and this violin sounds great. I doubt I will be changing it for a very long time. It was initially a toss up between this and an electric violin for a similar price. However I would advise against the electric's (that is the budget Chinese ones). Get an acoustic for the sound alone. Granted it is very loud, but with a metal practice mute, I have had no problem playing this at early hours in the morning without waking the neighbours. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stentor, 4-String Violin, Brown,Red (1500 4/4) - D'Addario Violin Rosin - Cello Rosin - Natural Rosin Violin, Light - Fiddlerman Wood Violin Shoulder Rest for 4/4 and 3/4 with Collapsible and Height Adjustable Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48186656-student-ii](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48186656-student-ii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
