Stentor Arcadia Violin Outfit

The Stentor Arcadia Violin Outfit is one of Stentor’s range of high-grade orchestral models complete with a carbon composite case and a quality bow. The Arcadia are superb individually handcrafted instruments, carved from fine and selected and figured tonewoods.

The Stentor Arcadia Violin is made in a specialist hand workshop within the Stentor factory, where the most skilled individual workers produce under the close supervision of a master maker, in a traditional luthier’s environment that would be familiar to makers throughout the centuries. The result is a fine instrument with a superior finish and sound. The Messina, Elysia and Arcadia are graded according to the quality and fineness of the tonewoods.

The violin is carved from solid tonewoods and finished with a hand-applied traditional shellac varnish to complement the individual look of each instrument. All instruments are individually workshop fitted.

Stentor Arcadia Violin Outfit set-up by Caswells Strings | Instruments not properly set up can have a detrimental effect on the players progress, even leading to the player being put off for life. We operate a strict policy of setting up every instrument, regardless of level, to exact standards and specifications. A set-up in our workshop includes shaping and cutting the bridge, lubricating the pegs, rosining the bow and adjusting the soundpost. Instruments are shipped with the bridges up.
