Stainer copy
Core Select Stainer copy. This cello has a warmth and complexity of tone that gives it a distinct place among the Core instruments. Fuller arching, and wide placement of the f-holes impart these sweet, delicate acoustic qualities which reflect an earlier musical aesthetic. During his time, Jacob Stainer of Absam was in demand as a luthier for royal court musicians throughout Austria, Germany, Italy and Spain. The beautiful, pre sound of the baroque period was embodied by the Stainer design, and for today's cellist this Core Select replica is particularly well-suited for orchestral and chamber music. Equipped with Larsen Magnacore strings.
