Howard Core Select CS4500C Model Cello Outfit

The Core Select Cello is a concert-level handmade instrument crafted for professional performers and serious advancing musicians. Built in limited quantities, each cello reflects meticulous craftsmanship and artistry. Made from well-aged, lightweight, slow-growth tonewoods, it produces a deep, resonant sound with remarkable power, clarity, and tonal balance across all registers.

Finished with the maker’s proprietary oil varnish recipe, the Core Select Cello features tasteful antiquing that highlights its classic beauty while enhancing acoustic resonance. Every detail—from its ebony Parisian eye pegs and carbon-fiber endpin to its Despiau “B” level Belgian-style bridge—is carefully selected for superior durability, projection, and expressive tonal control.

Professionally adjusted and strung with Pirastro Perpetual Edition strings, the Core Select Cello delivers outstanding response, brilliance, and tonal range. Available exclusively in 4/4 size, it provides world-class performance and craftsmanship for discerning players ready to elevate their artistry.

Each Core Select Cello is professionally set up by expert luthiers to ensure optimal tonal response, projection, and effortless playability right out of the case.
