Frequently Asked Questions About Stentor

While Stentor designs and oversees production, instruments are primarily manufactured in China to maintain affordability, with quality control checks performed in the UK.

Generally, Stentor instruments are best suited for students and intermediate players; more experienced musicians often seek instruments with more refined tonal qualities and craftsmanship.

The Elysia series represents a step up from the Arcadia, typically featuring slightly improved tonewoods and a more refined finish, offering a richer and more resonant sound.
