PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Please Note: This instrument is supplied with a standard case for shipping purposes only. Please visit our Violin Accessories page to find your perfect case and bow. Hand carved to perfection Each and every part of the Stentor Messina violin has been set up by hand. Individually carved by the most skilled workers in a specialist workshop each violin is produced under the close supervision of one master maker. This traditional luthier workflow is exactly how violins were made hundreds of years ago. The Spruce top and figured Maple back sides and neck have all been individually carved to provide the best possible sound. The fitted Aubert bridge has been contoured to match the shape of the fitted fingerboard allowing for optimum feel and ease of playing. The pegs and pegbox have been carved to match each other - perfectly designed for easy tuning. Once the Messina is completed a shellac varnish is applied for an instantly recognisable traditional finish. Finally each and every violin is workshop tested to guarantee perfection. Full Ebony fittings The Stentor Messina has been given some of the best fittings available to make a truly professional instrument. Ebony was chosen for the fingerboard pegs and chinrest because of its super-fine grain which is very resistant to moisture. As a result they Ebony fittings wont warp or bulge over time making the instrument long-lasting and easy to maintain. Ebony is also a tough wood meaning it is less susceptible to damage. Pirastro Tonica violin strings Pirastro Tonica violin strings have been crafted from nylon to give a softer feel for the performer. These popular strings produce a sound thats very lively and well rounded making them a great alternative to gut strings. Tonica strings also boast a significantly reduced background hiss meaning that sustained notes sound great and have an even tone.
