This modern interpretation honors both the master maker and the legendary performer who helped immortalize the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBuilt in a small boutique workshop by highly trained master makers, the CS5500 reflects a level of craftsmanship rarely found at its price point. Naturally air-dried Italian spruce and Bosnian maple, aged for a minimum of fifty years, are carefully selected and carved to capture the responsiveness, projection, and complexity associated with the finest historical instruments. The thoughtfully executed arching and graduation work produce a voice that is vibrant, flexible, and highly expressive, allowing the player to move effortlessly between delicate lyrical passages and commanding solo repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe result is an instrument that feels alive in the hands of the performer. Its lightning-fast response rewards nuanced bow technique, while its broad dynamic range and colorful tonal palette make it equally at home in the practice studio, chamber ensemble, orchestra section, or solo performance setting. Professionally adjusted by the maker and fitted with premium components including an Aubert DeLuxe bridge, boxwood fittings, and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold strings, the Core Select CS5500 \"Ole Bull\" delivers boutique-level artistry and performance for serious advancing musicians and professionals alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
