Violin by Kurt Brychta, c. 1930 – Buffalo, New York
This full-size violin, made circa 1930 by Kurt Brychta in Buffalo, New York, is a rare example of American craftsmanship from a maker known for both his own instruments and for importing and distributing fine European models. A member of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Brychta brought the sensibilities of a performer to his work as a luthier, resulting in instruments that are both musically responsive and thoughtfully constructed.
This violin features traditionally selected tonewoods, elegant arching, and a warm, reddish-brown varnish. Tonally, it offers a focused, singing voice with clarity and warmth—well-suited for advancing players or those seeking a distinctive American-made instrument with both historic and musical value.
A finely made and expressive violin from a maker who blended performance insight with hands-on craftsmanship.
