Modern Violins and Violas by Walter
Mahr
Mahr's violins and violas have a sweet
and powerful tone. His tonal investigations are evident in every
example of his work. (Charles Magby offers a substantial
collection of fine cellos, violins and violas in various grades made by
Mahr.)
Violins are modeled after the work
of Guarneri and Stradivari in a wide range of qualities. He
makes superior instruments for student players with a well-grained, solid
maple back, pine wood top and ebony fittings... up to superbly made masterpieces
with marvelously textured maple. Mahr's select tonal wood is carefully
seasoned up to 50 years. Mahr can vary the mixture of his oil and spirit
varnish according to the desired tonal properties required by a player.
Walter Mahr's grandfather was a mandolin-maker
in Schonback. In addition, his great grandfather was a violin maker. Walter
Mahr worked with master craftsman Ernst Heinrich Roth, the cello maker
Lothar Semmlinger and with Roderich Paesold.
