Howard Core: McClellan's music maker

Howard Core violinsSeveral years ago the McClellan Joint Powers Authority (JPA) approved the sale of three 1936-vintage brick buildings in the warehouse district to Howard Core Company, one of the world's largest violin-makers and wholesalers. For the company and it's 40 employees, the move to McClellan in January 2007 more than doubled the company's floor-space to about 60,000 square feet.

For McClellan, the addition of Howard Core was a perfect fit into the artistic aspirations for the area. With the opening of a Howard Core showroom highlighting its violins, violas, cellos and basses, the continuation of the Music at McClellan concert series, and the increased involvement of the Jacksonville State University Music Department and the Community Actors Studio Theatre, it is hoped that other arts will be drawn to the unique setting that is McClellan.
