The K500 August F. Kohr Advanced/Professional Double Bass combines master-level appearance, resonant tone, and responsive playability at an exceptional value. Fully handmade from carefully selected tonewoods, it features a choice spruce top with well-aged, flamed maple back and sides. Each instrument is hand-carved, hand-graduated, and hand-varnished to encourage free vibration and a balanced voice throughout its range.

Its transparent, glossy orange-brown varnish highlights the natural flame of the maple and creates a striking showroom presence. The K500 produces an even, sonorous sound with the depth, clarity, and refinement demanded by advanced and professional players. It is a compelling choice for orchestral, jazz, chamber, and solo performance.
