The August F. Kohr Master Viola is a master-crafted instrument that unites traditional European design with tonal power, depth, and elegance. Built from carefully seasoned tonewoods, each viola features a hand-applied medium reddish-brown to golden-brown varnish, tastefully antiqued to accentuate the natural flame and grain of the wood. The result is a visually stunning instrument that projects a professional presence both in tone and appearance.
Its sound is clear, resonant, and full-bodied, offering exceptional projection and warmth across all registers. The tone combines richness with articulate clarity, making it equally suited for soloists, chamber ensembles, and orchestral players. The balance of strength and refinement allows the Kohr Master Viola to rival European instruments of far higher cost, making it an outstanding value for advancing and professional musicians.
Fitted with boxwood fittings, a Guarneri-model chinrest, an Aubert “Luxe” bridge, and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings with a Larsen A, this viola provides a highly responsive and expressive tonal palette. Its two-piece maple back ensures acoustic stability and resonance, while the craftsmanship ensures long-term durability and consistent quality for years of performance.
