Stentor instruments are helping young people to experience
string playing at first hand. The London Philharmonic
Orchestra runs Have-a-Go sessions after its family concerts
at the South Bank, London and Stentor is delighted to
have loaned the instruments for this opportunity. Enthusiastic
children, the youngest only two years old, queue up after
every concert to 'have a go' on a Stentor violin, cello
or double bass, often for the very first time. Tutors
offer advice on how to hold and play the instrument and
answer questions.

The LPO is developing future audiences by bringing the
next generation to concerts and giving them direct contact
with classical music. Stentor is proud to be a part of
this project.

Stentor Violas help NCO Project
The National Children's Orchestra (NCO) is a major youth orchestra
responsible for training and encouraging the orchestral players
of the future. The dwindling number of viola players joining
the orchestra has given great concern and in response the NCO
has launched its latest initiative to recruit young viola players
at this year's summer school. Stentor is pleased to have supported
the NCO by loaning a number of small size Stentor violas to
this worthwhile Viola Project.
During the week's course, over 30 young violinists were given
introduced to the viola and given dedicated viola tuition. At
the end of the week they performed on Stentor violas in a concert
and experienced playing the viola in a full orchestral environment.
It is hoped that many will become viola players in the NCO and
other orchestras through this practical training. |

Messina,
Elysia and Arcadia Cellos
"These
are terrific cellos, with excellent tonal response and
a good warm, focused sound. They offer great flexibility
and ease of playing. The choice of wood and standard of
finish also make them a pleasure to look at." (The
Arcadia cello)
- "...has a lovely resonance which flows out under
the bow"
Elysia 'English' Model Cello
"An
outstanding instrument. So comfortable to play - I just
keep picking it up." "An
obvious choice for the more slightly built cellist."
1586

cello has a very good sound"
