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.
