The Howard Core Select “La Cathedrale” Stradivari Violin is a breathtaking tribute to Antonio Stradivari’s 1707 “La Cathedrale”, one of the defining masterpieces of his Golden Period. This exquisite recreation reflects Stradivari’s timeless craftsmanship — a perfect marriage of visual beauty, structural precision, and tonal brilliance.
Handcrafted from patiently seasoned European spruce and a one-piece flamed maple back, the “La Cathedrale” captures the purity, balance, and luminous resonance that characterize the original. The elegant arching and refined graduation contribute to a clear, radiant tone that sings effortlessly across all registers, blending warmth, depth, and crystal clarity in perfect harmony.
This violin produces an angelic, bell-like tone with remarkable projection and control, equally suited for orchestral, chamber, and solo performance. Fitted with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings, it responds with immediacy and expressive nuance, empowering musicians to shape every phrase with artistry and emotion.
Designed for advanced students and professional performers, the “La Cathedrale” model embodies both the soul of Stradivari’s genius and the precision of modern craftsmanship — a rare combination that elevates any performance.
