Stentor Music Co. Ltd. is a UK-based manufacturer of bowed stringed orchestral instruments, with the Stentor brand dating back to 1895. The company specializes in violins, violas, cellos, and double basses aimed primarily at students and intermediate players, and its instruments are widely recommended by school music services and string teachers. Production takes place in Stentor's wholly-owned factory in Taixing, China, which handles carving, assembly, and finishing of the full range under ISO9001 quality standards.
The Stentor lineup is tiered by build quality and tonewood selection. The entry-level Student I and Student II outfits are among the most common beginner violins in UK schools, while the Conservatoire serves as a step-up intermediate model. Higher up the range, the Messina, Elysia, and Arcadia models are hand-carved from more select, figured tonewoods and finished with traditional shellac varnish, with the Arcadia sitting at the top of the orchestral range. Stentor also produces fractional sizes (1/16 through 3/4) for young players, as well as electric violins and bow and case accessories.
Stentor instruments are distributed through music retailers in the UK and via a network of distributors in over 30 countries, making the brand one of the more ubiquitous names in the student-string market rather than a boutique or signature-artist workshop.
Stentor has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Violins and Cellos.
