The Stentor Conservatoire is great for advanced students. As its name might suggest you may want one of these if you are studying double bass at university or at a conservatoire. The price and quality are perfect if you're a student and your budget for a new instrument is limited. The bass comes with a good quality bow so you can upgrade both your bass and bow in one go. It also includes a padded case for travelling to and from lesson or gigs.

High quality materials

This instrument is made out of solid tonewoods. These woods are selected specially for their tonal properties. The bass is hand carved on both the front and back, this is a rare thing to find on instruments at this price as usually the back and front are laminated or only the back is hand carved. The natural woods and carved back means there is a beautiful natural flame pattern from the wood. The fingerboard is made from ebony, this is another sign of quality as cheaper instruments often don't feature ebony fingerboards, ebony construction makes this more durable and offers a superior tone colour. The machine heads are made of solid brass ensuring a precise and stable tuning.
