Howard Core Select CS4000C-MAGGINI Model Cello Outfit

The Core Select Maggini Model Cello is a historically inspired masterpiece that fuses Italian Renaissance design with modern craftsmanship, producing an instrument of extraordinary tonal depth and presence. Modeled after the iconic works of Giovanni Paolo Maggini (c.1580–1630) of Brescia, Italy, this cello features a longer outline, broader shoulders, elongated f-holes, and elegant double purfling — all hallmarks of Maggini’s distinct style and bold visual aesthetic.

Crafted from aged European tonewoods and built with time-honored classical methods, the Maggini Model emphasizes the dark, resonant tonal character for which Maggini instruments are celebrated. Its larger body dimensions enhance the cello’s lower register, creating a commanding, full-bodied tone while maintaining clarity, projection, and warmth across all strings. This balance of depth and brilliance makes it ideal for players seeking both historical authenticity and expressive power.

Finished with meticulous detail and equipped with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold strings, the Core Select Maggini Model Cello delivers rich overtones, impressive dynamic range, and effortless response. Its design embodies both historical artistry and contemporary playability, making it a compelling choice for advancing and professional cellists alike.

Each Core Select Maggini Cello is professionally adjusted by expert luthiers for optimal tonal response, projection, and comfort. Every instrument is carefully inspected to ensure consistency, precision, and performance readiness.
