The Howard Core Select “Soil” Stradivari Violin is a remarkable modern interpretation of the legendary 1714 “Soil” Stradivari, one of Antonio Stradivari’s finest creations from his Golden Period. Originally owned by Belgian collector Amedee Soil and later played by Itzhak Perlman for nearly three decades, the “Soil” violin is renowned for its radiant brilliance, tonal purity, and extraordinary projection.
Meticulously handcrafted from European spruce and flamed maple, this Core Select reproduction captures the same balance of power, resonance, and tonal complexity that defines the original. Every contour—from its precisely graduated plates to its refined arching—has been shaped for responsiveness, stability, and expressive depth. The fiery ascending flame on the maple back glows under a hand-applied antique spirit varnish, producing a rich golden-red hue that enhances both tone and visual beauty.
Designed for advanced and professional players, the “Soil” model delivers a brilliant, singing tone with fast response and expressive range. Fitted with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings, it offers warmth, brightness, and tonal flexibility ideal for both concert hall and studio performance.
