The Core Conservatory instruments help musicians take their playing to the next level. Practicing, lessons, and rehearsals require a student's commitment, and these instruments reward the extra efforts with greater range of tone and dynamics. The European spruce top imparts a focused yet sweet quality. The luthiers spend more time in carving and shaping the plates for improved acoustic response. The black-outline on the scroll chamfers and other subtle details signify better overall workmanship which make a big difference and help the players' musical education flourish.
