Forenza Prima 2 Full 4/4 Size Violin Outfit with Ebony Fingerboard and Pegs, Lightweight Hard Case, Wood Bow, Rosin, Steel Core Strings

Product Information

For the price, and the expectations of this level of instrument, it is hard to find much with which to quibble. The set-up as it arrived with me might not have been entirely perfect, and the strings will require a more expensive upgrade in the near future, but it is a nice-looking instrument that sounds easily and clearly, and would support the first steps of violin playing.

The Forenza Prima 2 Violin (available in different sizes), has also got a fantastic specification, however, they have a more budget-friendly price. They are supplied complete with a case and bow and are becoming increasingly popular within education circles. In a nutshell, both brands make high quality student specification violins. The difference in price comes from one company being a well-established brand with some manufacturing differences and the other a relative newcomer trying to establish itself in the market.

The Forenza Uno Series of violins, produced by Forenza, are designed with students and beginners in mind. These orchestral string instruments are suitable for all ages and abilities, making them a versatile choice for any budding musician. Solution; Forenza Uno Violin. The most cost effective and reliable starter Violin available at Normans Musical Instruments. But, we all must start somewhere. Where the violin is concerned, you do not want to be paying an extortionate amount of money in the outset. Stradivarius can wait! What you need is a good sounding, well-built and reliable Violin. Hopefully the interest will continue, and an instrument upgrade will be just around the corner (from Normans obviously!) As with most instruments in this price range, despite its Italianate name, the Forenza is made in China. The ebony used in the pegs and top nut is advertised as coming from sustainable sources. The strings are Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and fairly basic, so would need to be replaced to improve the sound, adding to the original cost.

Whilst the Standard model is acceptable to start on, most teachers would recommend the Stentor I as a minimum.Obviously shoulder rests make your whole performance and practice technique a more comfortable activity…and lessen the signs of a visible double-chin(s)! The Forenza Shoulder Rest is our highly recommended model, due to its ergo dynamic design and comfortable padded area. Available in ¾ and full size, the durable rubber connecting clips protect the violin and make them height & width adjustable. Comfort and Joy! Even for adults starting the violin for the first time, positive comments regarding a performance can be life-changing. Applause is addictive! There is nothing more satisfying than hearing a school orchestra, after months of rehearsals, perform in a concert to parents, friends, family and teachers. The bridge is fitted and set up, and the strings are semi-tensioned, so that the instrument is ready to use almost immediately. All you need to do is tune it, which is easily done with the robust integral tailpiece and 4 fine tuners.

The maintenance and upkeep of your Violin is just as important than your practice. A Ferrari without oil results in poor (if any?) performance! A Stradivarius without strings is simply a piece of wood!! Strings Our bows, like all new bows, require rosin application prior to their first use. Applying a good coat of rosin is essential to produce a clean, resonant sound from the strings. They are well known for their good tone and consistent quality. They have 3 levels of student violin, the Stentor Standard, Stentor I and Stentor II.

Stentor are the market leaders in the manufacture of student string instruments. They are a British company established in 1895 and with a wholly owned factory in China.
