Ebony fittings support your developing technique
As your playing progresses, a smooth and dependable playing surface becomes increasingly useful. The Student 2 features an ebony fingerboard, giving you a hard-wearing surface that stands up to regular string contact and finger pressure. Its dense structure provides a smooth feel under your fingers, helping with shifting positions and consistent fingering as you tackle more advanced techniques. Ebony pegs provide similarly durable fittings for regular tuning. Together, these traditional components make the Student 2 well suited to progressing players who are spending more time practising, rehearsing, and developing their left-hand technique.
Solid woods give your playing a focused sound
The Student 2 uses solid tonewoods to give you a responsive sound as your technique develops. Its carved spruce front is paired with solid carved maple back and sides, producing a focused tone with plenty of warmth. Inlaid purfling and a gold brown varnish complete the traditional construction. Stentor also carefully controls instrument measurements and wood preparation at its own factory workshops, helping maintain consistent sound and playability. This gives you an instrument designed to respond reliably as you refine your bowing, dynamics, fingering, and expression — useful when your repertoire starts asking more of your technique.
Simple tuning keeps practice moving
Regular practice means regular tuning, so the Student 2 combines traditional pegs with a composite tailpiece featuring integral adjusters. The pegs let you make broader pitch adjustments, while the tailpiece adjusters provide finer control when you're getting each string accurately into tune. Stentor also carefully fits the bridge and soundpost during production, helping provide consistent playability and setup. It all means less time wrestling with adjustments and more time concentrating on your playing, whether you're working through scales, preparing repertoire for lessons, or rehearsing with an ensemble.
Everything you need for lessons and practice
The Student 2 comes as a complete outfit, keeping the essentials you need for regular playing together. A wooden bow with natural horsehair and an ebony frog is included alongside strings and rosin, so you have the core accessories ready for lessons and home practice. When you're travelling, the padded nylon gig bag helps protect the cello and includes backpack straps for more convenient carrying. Safety reflectors add visibility, while dedicated bow, accessory, and sheet music storage keeps your everyday equipment organised. It's a practical setup for progressing students travelling regularly between home, lessons, rehearsals, and school.
