Howard Core Select CS10000C-STRAD Model Cello Outfit

The Core Select Cello represents the pinnacle of the Core Select line — a concert-quality instrument crafted for the professional performer or advancing artist. Handcrafted from Italian spruce and Balkan maple aged 7–10 years, this cello embodies a perfect balance between visual artistry and tonal excellence. Its rich, transparent varnish enhances both the natural flame of the wood and the refined elegance of its European craftsmanship.

The sound of the Core Select Cello is powerful, responsive, and beautifully balanced across all four strings. Its voice sings with warmth and depth in the lower registers while delivering clarity and brilliance in the upper range. The master luthiers behind this model trained extensively in Europe and the United States, drawing inspiration from the great Italian masters and traditional Stradivari patterns that have defined cello performance for over three centuries.

Outfitted with Larsen Magnacore strings and an Akusticus tailpiece, the Core Select Cello offers exceptional projection, tonal variety, and immediate responsiveness. With its combination of professional setup, premium components, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship, it is a truly inspiring choice for serious musicians seeking an instrument of lasting beauty and power.

Each Core Select Cello is professionally set up by master luthiers to ensure superior tonal response, balance, and effortless playability from the very first performance.
