    • Learning from past experience
So if you're here, it must be Instrument Procurement Season for your son or daughter who is starting in your school's orchestra. Or maybe you're looking to learn. Anyway, I like this axe. Why? Well, first, let me set the stage... Two years ago my oldest decided he wanted to play violin in school. I bought him a Mendini MV300 which, while certainly not a premium instrument, was enough to pique his interest once set up. However, that instrument required a lot of love before it was in condition to play, including work on the nut to bring the action down a bit, bridge work, and I even had to mess with the soundpost a bit. It plays better, but it will always be an instrument that is overly limiting. So when kid #2 decided to play the violin as well, I was able to draw off that experience, and it led me to this instrument. As before, I decided to buy after comparing rental terms with the purchase price. Now a fair word of caution...this is NOT a professional-level or even an advanced-level instrument. To judge it on those terms would be unfair and to do the product a disservice. What this IS, however, is an instrument that will not get in the way of a student learning the violin. First, on the concept of buying an outfit. BEWARE of package deals that offer you everything under the sun, especially if it comes at a price point that a simple violin+bow+case only barely matches. The dollars you are spending on a giant outfit are dollars that are NOT going into the violin, and in the music world, quality comes with price. Simply put, you want the violin to be the major price component of anything you buy. That money is buying you better tonewood (all wood is NOT the same...you want real solid spruce for the top because of its density and tonal qualities), ebony fittings (in particular the fingerboard but also the pegs) and good craftsmanship. This Stentor violin (which is a Stentor II) offers this to you. Granted, it's not an antique, nor is it a professional-level rig, but it is something that isn't going to block a student from learning. When properly set up (more on this in a minute), it has a tone that belies its price point. Simply put, it's eminently playable and represents a major value for the money. Moreover, it has staying power...it will remain a good instrument throughout the student's learning path, at least to advanced stages. That isn't to say you have no part to play in this. PLEASE PLEASE take the time to get this instrument set up correctly in the few weeks or so after receiving it. I say few weeks because some adjustments, like string height, are more subjective than others. But main things to consider: -The peg box. The pegs are cut in a cone shape and fit through the peg box. This shape is intended to create resistance so the strings do not come loose. An easy way to see if the construction is sound is to look at the hole in the peg box opposite of each peg...the end of the peg should be flush with the opposite side of the peg box. If it isn't, the pegs need to be reshaped. In my experience this is the main reason why pegs slip. -The soundpost. Placement of the soundpost is key. If it's in the wrong spot, the instrument will sound flat. Adjusting this is tricky and you probably want a professional luthier to do it for you. -The nut. This is the raised section right behind the peg box through which the strings fit (in little grooves) on their way to the bridge. An overly high nut means the string height is high and consequently requires more effort to push down. Lowering the nut will lower the action. My rule of thumb is that the string should be one string diameter over the fingerboard. However, this may be personal preference and some people prefer higher string actions. -The bridge. This is something you could do yourself if you're handy with wood. Mainly, the bridge needs to be perpendicular to the violin body. The feet of the bridge need to be curved so it is sitting flat on the top of the violin. If the bridge is leaning or if the feet aren't flush, the vibrations will not be transmitted efficiently to the body of the violin. Examine the bridge and make certain it's not warped, and in particular that it's in the right location (it should be lined up with the little notches in the middle of the F holes). -The strings. This rig includes Red Label strings which are....fine, I guess. They will stand up to a beginner whaling on them. But for tonal quality, I found best results from synthetic core strings. Dominant is the favorite, though I have a soft spot in my heart for D'Addario Pro Arte Nylon core. Note that strings are not a trivial investment, but it's the single component you can add that will make the instrument sound like it cost hundreds of dollars more. For the instrument I received, the peg box was perfect. I did need to adjust the bridge a bit, but overall and for a mail-order instrument...this thing arrived pretty much in 100% condition. I didn't have to spend hours setting it up. All this talk and I didn't mention the other components. The bow is really quite serviceable and actually has a quality winding. It's wood, not fiberglass, which I think is vastly superior. The frog is also ebony, speaking to the overall quality of this product set. As for the case, it's handy and sturdy, though there isn't much room inside the case for accessories like rosin or strings. An instrument cover is included with the case. Use it. Now then, next steps (and I apologize for this review dragging on so long, but buying a violin is NOT a trivial exercise). Buy new rosin (I prefer the Super Sensitive brand, light), as the rosin included here isn't much good. And even though the Red Label strings are...OK, buy some synthetic core strings or at the very least some D'Addario Preludes. It will make a difference. Note well that new strings (including the ones that come on this instrument) will stretch over days and even a week or so before they settle down...so you will need to retune very regularly over that time frame. So takeaway - this is a superior instrument for the student, and in fact it's probably the best in class. I found the construction to be very good (yes, it's made in China. But it's evidently made in the part of China that doesn't make cheap flip flops.) with no sign of hasty mass production. The varnish was evenly and properly applied, and there were no loose joints, chips, cracks, etc. It has a tone and playability that will not prevent your student from learning, nor will it encourage bad habits. In sum...it's a very good instrument. ... show more

    • New to the Violin
I will start this out by saying I am in my 30s and brand new to the violin. I have some knowledge in reading and playing music, and have always wanted to give the Violin a try. Choosing a violin wasn't really easy, as there is a lot of information out there to take in. What some people seem to love, other people hate. Having never handled a violin before in my life, I can't say if I made the right decision or not. What is in the box: Violin case, shoulder straps, bow, violin and rosin. Out of the box, it looked pretty. The finish is not bad, (though it is a bit too glossy for my liking) the only spot that doesn't look like great is the fingerboard, you can see where the paint went on a little heavy and had dripped. No loose wood chips anywhere, the pegs fit nicely, all seems good in that regard. I expected it to be a darker stain based on the pictures, but it is a lighter stain. The bridge placement was off, placed too far back, and well off to the right, but I would think minor adjustments like this are to be expected, and are not hard for even a complete beginner (like me) to adjust . I bought a Snark tuner to assist me in this new challenge, and with that tuning is a breeze. the G and D strings have been holding their tune pretty well for being new strings, the A and the E need constant adjusting for now, which is what I was expecting. I did not expect fantastic strings to be on straight from the factory, and they are not. The G string looks like it has a stress point, which surprised me, so I've been very careful how I tune it (Update: it snapped right after posting this review. Not shocked, though). When simply plucking them, the A string especially has an unpleasant tone to it, even when it is in tune. So in my very humble opinion, better strings are a must whenever able to be afforded. The chin rest doesn't feel wonderful to me, so I know I will replace that someday. It feels like it digs in to my neck. But I imagine these are much like shoes, and what fits bad for one, will fit another just fine. The bow... it's not horrible. It's a good beginner one. There are a couple hairs that just don't tighten and hang loose, otherwise it seems good enough to get you started. The case seems nice, at least I really like it. It's a dark red, and well cushioned. Has a cover for the violin, and comes with shoulder straps. This kit also comes with a tiny thing of rosin, which I did not know, perhaps I missed in the description, so I had ordered some separately. I suppose it will be a while before I know if I bought the right violin for me, and as with any pricey purchase I will question my final decision, but to a complete beginner, it seems like a nice little instrument. Overall, I am happy with my violin. Edit: Ok, so one of the strings popped out of the tailpiece/fine tuner. The string did not break (though it finally broke due to a weak spot when reinstalling it, but it was still intact when it popped out the tailpiece), and wasn't too tight, it was actually an octave or two too low (I've been worried about over tightening the strings too soon). Now I'm confused if I should keep this violin, or if this is going to be an issue, or if it is simply to do with the cheap strings.... Edit #2: Decided to return this violin, since I'm worried the tailpiece will be an issue, and I don't think I should have to replace or repair something on a brand new item. I won't give up on the violin, just need to decide on what brand to try next. Taking my review down a notch since I got a lemon. ... show more
