Individually hand carved

Each and every part of the Stentor Arcadia viola has been set up by hand. Individually carved by the most skilled workers in a specialist workshop, each viola is produced under the close supervision of one master maker. This traditional luthier workflow is exactly how violas were made hundreds of years ago.

The Spruce top and 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. Finally, a shellac varnish is applied for an instantly recognisable traditional finish.

Full Ebony fittings

The Stentor Arcadia 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 won't 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 viola strings

Pirastro Tonica viola strings have been crafted from nylon to give a softer feel for the performer. These popular strings produce a sound that's 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.
