Violin by Kurt Brychta, 1957 – Buffalo, New York | Handmade by the Maker
This full-size violin was handmade in 1957 by Kurt Brychta—an accomplished violinist, instrument maker, and distributor of German-made instruments based in Buffalo, New York. A member of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Brychta brought both musical insight and craftsmanship to his instrument making, blending his performance experience with traditional European construction techniques.
This violin reflects his individual handiwork, featuring clean lines, well-chosen tonewoods, and a thoughtfully applied varnish. Tonally, it offers a focused, warm sound with a clear voice—well-suited to serious students or players looking for a mid-20th century American instrument with personality and depth.
A unique and historically interesting piece from a maker with ties to both performance and international instrument trade.
