The August F. Kohr Romanian Viola is an elegant step-up instrument designed for advancing students and serious players who seek a rich, expressive tone and refined European craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Romania from finely grained spruce and slightly flamed maple, this viola embodies the traditional artistry and tonal precision that define quality European instruments.
Its medium satin orange-golden varnish enhances the natural flame and character of the wood, resulting in a warm and visually inviting finish. Tonally, it delivers a balanced, resonant voice — full and powerful in the lower range, while maintaining brilliance and clarity in the upper registers. The result is a versatile instrument suited for solo performance, orchestral playing, and chamber ensembles alike.
Professionally adjusted with D’Addario Helicore strings, a Despiau “C” level French bridge, and a Wittner composite tailpiece, the August F. Kohr Romanian Viola offers responsive playability, stable tuning, and refined tonal control. Its precise setup and carefully selected materials ensure a dependable and musically rewarding experience for dedicated violists.
