Howard Core Select CS2900G Model Violin Outfit

The Core Select CS2900 Guarneri Model Violin exemplifies the refined power and tonal depth that define great instruments. Handcrafted in the world-renowned workshop of Ming Jiang Zhu, a Violin Society of America (VSA) Gold Medal-winning maker, this model reflects the pinnacle of modern violin artistry rooted in classical Italian tradition.

Built on the legendary Guarneri pattern, the CS2900 offers a rich, commanding lower register and remarkable tonal complexity across all strings. Its deep resonance on the G-string and brilliant upper range give it a versatile tonal palette, equally suited for expressive solo work and orchestral performance. Crafted from seasoned European spruce and flamed maple, each instrument is finished in a light amber-brown varnish that is tastefully antiqued to enhance both beauty and resonance.

Fitted with boxwood fittings, a Guarneri-style chinrest, and an Aubert Mirecourt bridge, the CS2900 achieves exceptional tonal clarity, responsiveness, and projection. Strung with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings, it delivers a sound that is both powerful and elegant — perfect for discerning musicians seeking a professional-quality violin that performs with nuance and authority.

Each Core Select CS2900 Violin is meticulously adjusted by expert luthiers for ideal tonal balance, projection, and playability. Every instrument is carefully inspected before shipping to ensure concert-ready performance right out of the case.
