Stentor 1550 Conservatoire (3/4)

About the Stentor 1550 Conservatoire (3/4)

This 3/4 Conservatoire uses the identical specification to the full 4/4 version - carved spruce top, carved flamed maple back and ribs, Stentor's own Shellax varnish, ebony fittings, inlaid purfling, synthetic gut strings and a composite tailpiece with four integrated fine-tuners - simply built to 3/4 proportions. It exists because Stentor, like most reputable step-up violin makers, offers its full build quality across fractional sizes rather than reserving genuine tonewood construction for full-size instruments alone.

A smaller player advancing beyond a basic Student-tier instrument gets the same tonal design intent and appointments as an adult player choosing the 4/4 Conservatoire, just scaled to fit their current hand and arm length - letting technique and instrument quality progress together rather than one waiting on the other.

Sound character of the Stentor 1550 Conservatoire (3/4)

This 3/4-size Conservatoire shares the better-selected, hand-finished solid tonewoods of its full-size sibling one tier above the Student line, giving smaller-framed players noticeably more resonance and warmth than an entry-level 3/4 student violin.

The history of the Stentor 1550 Conservatoire (3/4)

Stentor extends its Conservatoire step-up line across the standard fractional sizes specifically so younger string students don't have to choose between an appropriately-sized instrument and genuine step-up build quality.
