The Stentor Arcadia is the top of Stentor's range of high grade orchestral models.‎ These are superb handcrafted instruments, carved from the most select, highly figured tonewoods.‎ The Stentor Arcadia viola is made in a specialist hand workshop within the Stentor factory, where the most skilled individual workers produce under the close supervision of a master maker, in a traditional luthier's environment that would be familiar to makers throughout the centuries.‎ The superior sound is unique to each instrument and reflects the individuality of each one.‎ The viola is finished with a hand-applied traditional shellac varnish and fitted with Pirastro strings.‎ All instruments are individually workshop fitted.‎
