HOWARD CORE AUGUST F. KOHR K550 VIOLIN

The August F. Kohr Violin embodies refined craftsmanship, tonal sophistication, and expressive versatility — a true step-up from intermediate-level instruments. Handcrafted from well-flamed, seasoned maple and select spruce, each violin is carefully hand-graduated to produce superior resonance and projection. Its elegant medium satin finish, blending red-brown and gold-brown hues, highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods and reflects the meticulous artistry behind the Kohr workshop.

Designed for players seeking an open, balanced sound, this model delivers a medium voice with rich tonal depth and quick response. Its acoustic character is both powerful and smooth, offering clarity in every register with warmth that develops beautifully over time. Whether performing in ensemble, solo, or studio settings, the Kohr Violin provides consistent tonal integrity and control.

Outfitted with ebony Parisian eye fittings, a Guarneri model chinrest, a Despiau “C” level French bridge, and Thomastik Dominant A, D, and G strings paired with a Pirastro Gold Label E (loop end), the instrument ensures precision, stability, and tonal brilliance. Each August F. Kohr Violin is professionally adjusted by expert luthiers for ideal string height, playability, and resonance straight out of the case.
