This product is a model produced in China by STENTOR.
This is an original violin set that Marynet commissioned STENTOR to produce on an OEM basis.
Currently, STENTOR is handled by Kiktani Music (general musical instrument trading company).
STENTOR is a British manufacturer, but the violins sold mainly through Kiktani in Japan are manufactured at factories in China.
Many types of cheap violins have been distributed since EC became popular, but there are three companies that sell violins in the 10,000 to 20,000 yen range from the musical instrument industry: Hallstatt (Kyoritsu Corporation), Carlo Giordano (Mac Corporation), and Stenter (Kiktani Music).
After ordering multiple violins from each company and testing them, we use Merrinet's sole discretion to narrow down the recommended models based on price range and make recommendations.
This product is currently the most reasonable violin set among them.
It's amazing that you can play this much at this price! That's what I thought at first, but that's because I have experienced something else to compare it to, so I don't know what the content is that everyone is expecting from the first one.
Therefore, it has the best cost performance. I would like to write my impressions in comparison with the GV-0 and GV-1 violins that are priced between 30,000 yen and 50,000 yen.
■The finish is rough.
Over the past few years, the technology for manufacturing musical instruments in China, such as violins and wind instruments, has improved dramatically, but there are still rough coatings, scratches during the manufacturing process, and rough finishes on the cases. At Merry Net, we check the quality and return defective products to the manufacturer, but the cheaper the model, the more varied the finish, so the range of acceptable products is wider.
■I want an inexpensive instrument that I can play. For those who
Since it plays well and we have checked the octave, we will replace any bad strings before shipping.
However, it cannot be said to be of good quality compared to GV-0 etc.
Even expensive violins are made the same way, but especially cheap violins often have pegs that are difficult to stop.
Pegs like violins, cellos, erhus, etc. (used by screwing in wood and balancing with the tension of the strings) require some skill to properly stop the pegs.
At Merrynet, we only ship instruments that are deemed to be of good quality according to our own standards, so please rest assured that this is an instrument that is by far superior when compared to other models over a wide range! Please note that there are some things that are difficult to say.
