The August F. Kohr K500 Violin (3/4 Size) is a fine student-level instrument that embodies the craftsmanship and tone quality the Kohr line is known for. Built from select spruce and flamed maple, this violin offers a balanced, resonant sound ideal for developing musicians seeking dependable tone and comfortable playability. Its warm varnish highlights the wood’s natural beauty, giving it a traditional, elegant appearance suitable for stage or study.

This particular 3/4-size model is being sold as-is, and it requires a new fingerboard to be fully playable. Once repaired, it has the potential to deliver excellent tonal projection and consistent response across all strings — making it a strong choice for restoration or workshop use.

Designed with quality fittings and solid craftsmanship, the K500 remains one of the most reliable step-up violins in its class, offering the perfect foundation for advancing students and teachers alike.
