Stentor II 3/4 Cello Outfit

Product Information

The Stentor Student 2 cello is designed for students who want a high quality, consistent-sounding instrument from day one without breaking the bank. Hand made from selected solid tonewoods, this is a great cello which is supplied with a good quality wood bow and a thickly padded rayon bag with carrying straps and rosin.

The Student 2 cello has a solid carved spruce top and solid carved maple back and ribs. The solid maple neck features an ebony fingerboard, nut and pegs for extra stability. The bag has pockets to store the bow and other accessories, and boasts backstraps and a carrying strap.

Refurbished by our in house Luthier, this cello has benefited from a full set up and service. As a refurbished model it may show light signs of wear and tear.

Cello Care Tips

To keep your cello in great condition and ensure it maintains its best sound, we recommend the following care tips:

• Storage: Always store your cello in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood.

• Cleaning: Clean your cello regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and rosin build-up. Be careful not to touch the varnish with your fingers.

• String Care: Check your strings for wear and replace them when necessary. Avoid over-tightening the strings, as this can cause unnecessary stress on the instrument.

• Bow Maintenance: Regularly check the tension of the bow and keep it properly tightened when not in use. Always re-hair the bow when necessary to maintain smooth performance.
