The Howard Core Select Amati Violin honors the legacy of Nicolo Amati, one of Cremonas greatest 17th-century violin makers and a key influence on Stradivari and Guarneri. Built on a smaller-bodied 4/4 Amati pattern, this violin delivers exceptional comfort and playability without sacrificing tonal projectionideal for violinists seeking precision, ease, and refinement. Handcrafted from seasoned European spruce and maple, the Amati model embodies elegance, tonal balance, and expressive warmth. Its carefully proportioned body 353 mm body length, 158 mm upper bout, and 190 mm lower bout supports a sweet, singing tone with clarity and depth across all registers, perfectly suited for both ensemble and solo performance. Professionally adjusted and strung with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings (loop-end E), the Amati model responds instantly to the players touch, offering dynamic range, warmth, and tonal focus. Finished with a hand-applied antiqued spirit varnish, it reflects a classic Cremonese aesthetic of subtle shading and natural beauty. For added comfort, an optional Dresden-style ebony chinrest can be fitted upon request.
