Product Information

Obviously shoulder rests make your whole performance and practice technique a more comfortable activity…and lessen the signs of a visible double-chin(s)! The Forenza Shoulder Rest is our highly recommended model, due to its ergo dynamic design and comfortable padded area. Available in ¾ and full size, the durable rubber connecting clips protect the violin and make them height & width adjustable. Comfort and Joy! Solution; Forenza Uno Violin. The most cost effective and reliable starter Violin available at Normans Musical Instruments. With both brands being extremely popular among students, we are often asked why there is a price difference between Stentor and Forenza violins and what sets them apart. Our bows, like all new bows, require rosin application prior to their first use. Applying a good coat of rosin is essential to produce a clean, resonant sound from the strings.

They are well known for their good tone and consistent quality. They have 3 levels of student violin, the Stentor Standard, Stentor I and Stentor II.

The maintenance and upkeep of your Violin is just as important than your practice. A Ferrari without oil results in poor (if any?) performance! A Stradivarius without strings is simply a piece of wood!! Strings The bridge is fitted and set up, and the strings are semi-tensioned, so that the instrument is ready to use almost immediately. All you need to do is tune it, which is easily done with the robust integral tailpiece and 4 fine tuners.

Whilst the Standard model is acceptable to start on, most teachers would recommend the Stentor I as a minimum. The violins are finished in a classic rich varnish to give a warm wood colour and the fitted bridge and tensioned strings provide an easy set up. This saves time when you receive the violin and avoids the worry of putting the bridge up if you are unsure of what to do. For the price, and the expectations of this level of instrument, it is hard to find much with which to quibble. The set-up as it arrived with me might not have been entirely perfect, and the strings will require a more expensive upgrade in the near future, but it is a nice-looking instrument that sounds easily and clearly, and would support the first steps of violin playing.

In a nutshell, both brands make high quality student specification violins. The difference in price comes from one company being a well-established brand with some manufacturing differences and the other a relative newcomer trying to establish itself in the market. Strings are the most common accessory, and a necessity. You should carry spares with you at all times; they do break you know... The Forenza Violin String Sets are constructed from a steel core that is durable & not affected by changes in humidity & temperature. They produce a warm sound and provide a good, and consistent bow response. Available in 3 suitable sizes; full size to 3/4 size, 1/2 to 1/4 size, and 1/8th size. Each is a complete set containing the G, D, A, & E strings. Remember, don’t wait until a string breaks, always carry a spare set!
