Hello,
I have my first lesson coming up but still no violin. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good online shop? I am looking at a Stentor violin. Thanks, LearnerFlute |

Thanks, LearnerFlute I can highly recommend Ackerman Music - http://www.ackermanmusic.co.uk/violin/ - fantastic service, I have used them for a long time for various items including instruments. They are usually very competitive with their pricing, and will price match if you find it cheaper elsewhere. Happy shopping! |

Over the years I have bought about 5 or six as my kids have grown and they have been fine...and of course when you're finished you can put them back and recoup approx what you paid. I still have mine as the kids are oddly attached to them - I would be more careful buying violins other than Stentors as I have bought a couple of cheap ones of unknown parentage that have been of dubious quality |

You could try djm music and Omegamusic? Omega music sends them out set up PROPERLY - not the usual shove-a-bridge-on-I'm-done that you sometimes get for internet violins.
Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I don't want to start another one - anyone heard of Tonareli violins and are they good? |

I got my first violin (stentor) many years ago at www.normans.co.uk
It was good service and i've found them to be the cheapest |

I got my stentor II viola from omega music. It came quickly and I've been really happy with it. It was definitely worth paying a few extra pounds for the II as well.
