HOWARD CORE AUGUST F. KOHR K565 VIOLIN

The August F. Kohr K565 Violin stands as a testament to master-level craftsmanship, tonal depth, and refined artistry. Designed for advancing and professional players, this model represents the upper echelon of the Kohr line — blending aesthetic beauty with a commanding, expressive sound.

Crafted from select aged tonewoods with precise arching and graduation, the K565 produces a vibrant, full-bodied tone that responds instantly to the player’s touch. Its sound is rich, warm, and powerful across all registers, offering exceptional projection and tonal clarity that continue to mature with consistent play.

Visually, the instrument captivates with its rich, buttery varnish, featuring bold coloration and elegant shading that accentuate its flamed maple back and refined contours. Every element of its construction — from the European-inspired design to its tonal balance — reflects the Kohr workshop’s commitment to excellence and musical sophistication.

Professionally fitted with ebony Parisian-eye fittings, a Guarneri model chinrest, and a Despiau “B” level French bridge, the K565 is strung with Thomastik Dominant A, D, and G strings, paired with a Pirastro Gold Label E (loop end) for brilliance and tonal precision. The result is a violin that delivers both performance-grade power and expressive control.
