HOWARD CORE AUGUST F. KOHR HC602 VIOLIN

The August F. Kohr Violin represents a harmonious blend of artistry, tonal excellence, and value. Handcrafted from choice, well-seasoned spruce and flamed maple, this master-level instrument delivers the warmth, projection, and precision demanded by advancing and professional players. Its medium satin reddish-brown to golden-brown finish enhances both tone and aesthetic depth, exuding elegance and European refinement.

Celebrated by Strings Magazine for its superior craftsmanship and tonal character, the Kohr Violin offers a clear, powerful sound that carries with expressive clarity across concert halls and studios alike. Its resonant lower register and singing upper voice make it equally suited for orchestral, chamber, and solo performance. Designed to respond fluidly to nuanced bowing, this instrument rewards refined technique with rich tonal color and projection.

Professionally fitted with ebony Parisian-eye fittings, a Guarneri model chinrest, and a Despiau “B” level French bridge, it is strung with Thomastik Dominant A, D, and G strings paired with a Pirastro Gold Label E (loop-end) — a setup favored by discerning violinists for its brilliance, balance, and expressive control. The one-piece maple back enhances resonance, visual elegance, and tonal power, marking this as a true performance-grade violin.
