The Core Select “Ole Bull” Violin pays tribute to one of history’s most revered instruments—the 1744 Guarneri “del Gesù” Ole Bull, crafted in the master’s final year. This exceptional model captures the refined yet fiery character of the original, honoring both Giuseppe Guarneri’s craftsmanship and the artistry of the 19th-century Norwegian virtuoso Ole Bull.
Handcrafted from naturally air-dried Italian spruce and Bosnian maple aged for more than 50 years, this violin unites tradition and precision. Its carefully sculpted archings bring forth a vibrant, pliable voice that responds instantly under the bow. The tone is stately yet flexible—equally suited to the expressiveness of Romantic repertoire or the clarity demanded by modern performance.
Maker-adjusted with an Aubert DeLuxe bridge, boxwood fittings, and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold strings, the Core Select “Ole Bull” Violin offers lightning-quick response, tonal depth, and brilliance. It stands as a faithful homage to Guarneri’s final masterpiece, giving today’s player the power, color, and agility to meet the demands of any concert stage.
Each Core Select “Ole Bull” Violin is professionally adjusted by skilled luthiers for ideal playability, tonal balance, and projection right out of the case.
