Developed by Charles Avsharian, Shar CEO, our original Carlo Lamberti® Classic Violin has remained a popular choice among advancing players and their teachers, for the simple reason that it has consistently outperformed other violins in its price range. Remaining the champion, though, doesn’t just happen; it is the result of constant improvements to outperform the dizzying number of violins in this price range.

Modeled on a famous 1715 Stradivari, this violin has been made with carefully aged, flamed maple back, neck and scroll and seasoned European spruce tops. Carefully applied hand varnish, following traditional Italian methods, the Classic employs four coats of varnish, dried naturally in the sun, bringing out the full beauty of the violin, both aesthetically and tonally. Quality fittings used throughout, including a hand carved bridge, Hill-style boxwood pegs, and a boxwood tailpiece with fine tuner for the E-string.

Next, the Carlo Lamberti® Classic Fiddle comes equipped with premium D’Addairo Helicore® strings. Their steel core gives greatly increased flexibility, makes it easy to complete swift, skillful fiddle string crossings. Perfect for “turning up the volume” – they’re dependable under the roughest conditions. Whether you’re performing in a grand concert hall, or outdoors in the wind and sun, Helicore® is up to the task.

Ready for a range of play? This fiddle can span folk music genres: bluegrass, Celtic, old time, contra dance… you name it. The contoured bridge makes for skillful play; the Helicore® strings facilitate fast string changes. Maximum range, with an economy of motion. Fiddle on!

In addition to the Carlo Lamberti® Classic Fiddle, this outfit includes the following:

Heritage Deluxe Violin Case
From the trim, black, nylon canvas cover to the large, sturdy handle, this case is loaded with features. Strong plywood shell has matched fittings throughout. The pinch-style latch is easy to work. Two soft straps are included so you can back-pack your new Heritage Challenger. Suspension cushioning, string tube, hygrometer and blanket complete the package.

Presto® Encore Bow
The Presto® Encore offers a moderately firm woven carbon fiber stick capable of a big, clear tone and quick response. Exceptional handling at a great value. The balance point lies close to center-tip.

Woven carbon fiber stick. Ebony frog with silver mountings.

Presto® carbon fiber bows have gained a loyal following among players and teachers alike. Combining modern, strong, state-of-the-art materials with traditional handcraft, these bows are as impressive and beautiful to look at as they are to play. Agile handling, arrow-straight tracking and full tonal power are hallmarks of these fine bows. Decidedly stunning in appearance due to the open weave carbon cloth, these bows are far better suited for severe performance conditions than wood bows, including pernambuco. And, as the world's supply of expensive pernambuco wood disappears, Presto® bows deliver more performance for your dollar than any fine bow on the market today. Presto® bows are only made with aerospace-grade fibers and resins. The engineering process guarantees longevity by eliminating "creep," a flaw in carbon-fiber manufacture that can warp a bow or diminish camber over time. All bows are thoroughly inspected, meaning only bows with the best craftsmanship are sent to our customers.
