Had to reshape the bridge but overall sound quality really good!
I have been playing on my Stentor 2 for 1.5 years now. I must say it never ceases to amaze me. I have been told that the sound quality is unexpectedly good for a violin in this price range and it responds well to sound projection.
My only complain about the violin would be that i had to lower the bridge a bit to make it actually playable. The strings it came with only hold up for 3 months of beginner violin playing. The bow it came with is not that good, which is expected. And i had to make the case repaired after a year of carrying the violin around. (It was tearing from the point where the straps were attached at the violin)
I have no regrets regarding my decision to pick up Stentor 2 and start learning the violin. It offers everything you could ask of from a student violin, and much more!

As a total beginner to the violin, I was looking for a budget-friendly violin that's easy to play and which I could use to learn the basics on without getting frustrated. And it has been exactly that. It stays in tune long enough that you don't have to keep tuning during a practice session, the bridge has the right curvature (as far as I can tell) so isolating strings or doing double stops isn't too hard, and it doesn't feel like the fingerboard is restrictive to get around. Main complaint is that the fine tuner for the E string is a bit hard to turn.
As for the sound and the look, it sounds and looks like a violin. I wouldn't say it has any sense of character though. 'Plain' would probably be a good word to describe it.
All in all I am happy with the instrument. It has allowed me to get started on the violin and it has made me find out that I want to pursue it further.

Good violin for a beginner.
Usually a very good violin will start on a much much higher price level, so do not expect any revelation, but I must admit that, as it was stated in some reviews this model is really probably one of the best for beginners. It is playable and sounds nice. I bought it for my ex girlfriend and her teacher also admitted, that this instrument was good enough. Anyway, there is a lot to learn, before You get a pleasant sound and some skills. It is definitely worth investing in this instrument for learning time, before You will decide, You really wanna be a pro violin player and go for pro and very expensive instrument.

Great little fiddle!!
I bought this for a student and was expecting much lower quality for this price.
It sounds good, it feels good and stays in tune.
The bow is also quite nice for the price.
The fine adjusters are a little stiff but they work.
This is an excellent choice for a beginner or even a second fiddle for gigging. It's not going to be a professionals first choice but for what it is, it's Ideal.

recommended by an online violin teacher
Bought this as my first violin. came in with a case, the quality of the violin is alright.The sound is not too scratchy, I was happy to discover it produced a descent sound
It was recommended as a strarter violin by a well know online violin teacher.
The rosin isn't any good and the bow is a little bit heavy i am planning on investing in another one.
Also I was advised to change the factory strings for dominant or pistrato tonicas.
Overall Satisfied :)

Great beginners violin
This was bought for my sister as her 1st violin and it was better from what we expected. It has good sound and for the price a very good construction quality. When we changed the strings the sound was much much better. I recomend it for begginer violinists!!! Value for money 100%
