The August Kohr Master Viola

This master viola has an “antiqued” varnish and specially selected wood. The finish is a beautiful medium satin, featuring hues of medium reddish-brown to golden-brown. The viola boasts a clear, big sound with fine quality, range, and projection. When compared to European instruments selling at much higher prices, the value is evident. Only well-seasoned tonewoods are used. The instrument is set up with boxwood fittings, a  Guarneri model chinrest, an Aubert “Luxe” bridge, Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings with a Larsen A string.

Well-Seasoned Tonewoods

The instrument is built from carefully selected, well-seasoned wood that promotes rich resonance and enhanced tonal depth, contributing to a clear, full-bodied sound.

Two-Piece Back Construction

Featuring a traditional two-piece back, this design helps balance tone projection and response across the instrument’s range.

Elegant Medium Satin Finish

A medium satin varnish in reddish-brown to golden-brown hues adds visual sophistication while allowing the wood to vibrate freely for optimal acoustic performance.

Aubert “Luxe” Bridge

A high-quality French bridge installed on the viola efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body, aiding in tone clarity and projection.

Premium Strings

Equipped with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings with a Larsen A string, known for their rich tone, dynamic range, and responsiveness right out of the case.

Classic Fittings

Traditional fittings such as boxwood pegs and a Guarneri-model chinrest provide stability, comfort, and a classic aesthetic that complements the instrument’s tonal character.

Clear, Big Sound with Fine Quality and Projection

Designed for strong projection and a pleasing tonal character suitable for professional performance in ensemble or solo contexts.
