Howard Core Select CS1450 Model Violin Outfit

The Howard Core Select Violin embodies refined European craftsmanship, elegant design, and exceptional tonal balance. Built from well-aged European spruce and nicely flamed maple, it offers a warm, resonant tone that matures beautifully with continued play. Its hand-applied reddish-amber antiqued spirit varnish enhances both tonal warmth and visual sophistication, giving the violin the appearance and character of a fine traditional instrument.

Designed for advancing and professional players, this model delivers a medium-dark tonal color with excellent projection and clarity across all registers. Its even response and dynamic control make it equally suited for solo performance, orchestral work, or chamber ensembles. The violin’s tonal balance — combining warmth, brilliance, and power — ensures an expressive, nuanced playing experience.

Professionally adjusted with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings and fitted with a Despiau “B” level French bridge, the Core Select Violin offers immediate response, tonal richness, and reliable stability. Every detail — from its Parisian-eye ebony fittings to its precise setup — reflects Howard Core’s commitment to professional quality and lasting performance.
