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.
