HOWARD CORE JOHANNES KÖHR K500V VIOLA

The Johannes Kohr Viola is a reliable, high-quality student instrument designed to support developing violists with dependable tone and smooth playability. Built from flamed maple back and sides with a spruce top, it delivers a warm, balanced sound that projects clearly in both ensemble and solo settings. Its craftsmanship and setup make it an excellent choice for players advancing beyond the beginner stage.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the instrument — from its inlaid purfling for structural strength to its ebony fingerboard, nut, and saddle that ensure long-lasting durability and precise response. The combination of a French bridge and D’Addario Prelude strings provides consistent tone, while the composite tailpiece with integrated fine tuners makes tuning effortless and accurate.

Available in sizes from 12" to 17" (17" by special order), the Johannes Kohr Viola accommodates a wide range of students and advancing players. Whether used in a school orchestra, private study, or home practice, it offers reliable performance and excellent value.
