HOWARD CORE AUGUST F. KOHR KR60 VIOLIN

The August F. Kohr Romanian Violin exemplifies the artistry and tonal refinement of European violin making, delivering a sophisticated sound for discerning musicians. Hand-carved in Romania by expert luthiers, this model reflects the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that define the Kohr tradition. Built from premium European tonewoods, it achieves both visual elegance and expressive tonal depth.

Crafted from a fine-grain spruce top and boldly-figured maple back and sides, the violin produces a resonant, colorful tone with impressive projection. Its medium-gloss orange-brown varnish enhances the natural flame of the maple while preserving the warmth and clarity of its voice. The tonal range is complex and balanced — brilliant in the upper registers and rich in the lower range — making it an ideal choice for advancing and professional players alike.

Fitted with ebony Parisian-eye pegs, an ebony tailpiece and Guarneri-style chinrest, a Despiau “A” level French bridge, and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings, this violin is built for reliability, stability, and tonal precision. Each instrument is professionally adjusted for perfect playability, ensuring that every note responds with clarity and grace from the moment it leaves the workshop.
