Pros: Good Value for Money, Durable, High Quality, value for money

I bought this cello from Norman's over a year ago, to replace a very cheap instrument I had borrowed from a friend. I'm a middle-aged learner, and this instrument immediately changed practising from a chore to a pleasure. It looks, feels, sounds and even smells satisfying. The set-up wasn't perfect (some buzzing on pizzicato - easily fixed)and the bow is not proportionately as good as the cello (go for one around the £100 mark when you can), but the value is truly excellent. The case is robust but manageable. Norman's let me rosin up and play in a private room to see if it suited me, and I used the Arts Council Take-it-Away scheme to help me pay.

I bought this cello although I'm a beginner. I wanted a cello which would take me to a reasonable standard rather than needing to get an upgrade in just a couple of years.

It is I believe a quality instrument with a fine sound. My very experienced teacher is impressed with the instrument.

It looks very nice and the tone it produces is rather good, compared to other cellos of a similar price range I tried.

When I can play much better and in time when I invest in purchasing much better strings I think it will sound great.

Concerning the bow, I would say it's just acceptable.

The cello was packaged securely and delivered on time.

I would recommend purchasing with Normans.

I recommended this Stentor cello.

Pros: Good Value for Money, very fast delivery

I am really contented with the instrument. As a beginner I didn´t want to spend a considerable sum on an instrument but it should be playable and agreeable-sounding.
For the beginner it´s really recommendable and all accessory is included. Unwrap it and start playing!
