Product Information

Even for adults starting the violin for the first time, positive comments regarding a performance can be life-changing. Applause is addictive!

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. Solution; Forenza Uno Violin. The most cost effective and reliable starter Violin available at Normans Musical Instruments.

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.

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. Just apply some rosin to the bow and experience the pleasant and precise tone the Uno produces, at amazing value-for-money. Strings are the most common accessory, and a necessity. You should carry spares with you at all times; they do break you know... The Forenza Violin String Sets are constructed from a steel core that is durable & not affected by changes in humidity & temperature. They produce a warm sound and provide a good, and consistent bow response. Available in 3 suitable sizes; full size to 3/4 size, 1/2 to 1/4 size, and 1/8th size. Each is a complete set containing the G, D, A, & E strings. Remember, don’t wait until a string breaks, always carry a spare set! 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.Forenza Uno Series Violins are an attractive and presentable instrument that are also equipped with all the necessary features to start playing right away! They are fitted with hardwood tuning pegs and fingerboard that add a quality feel to this fantastic student model. 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. All Forenza Uno series violins come in a lightweight hard case. The case is fitted with a handle and shoulder straps for easy transportation.
