Alfons F. Vávra (1901-1957) was the son of Jan Baptista Vávra, the founder of the important Czech violin making dynasty. He was apprenticed to his father from 1915-1919 and already became self-employed in 1920 in his father 's establishment in Banska Bystrica ( Slovakia) . In 1925 he returned to Prague and opened his own shop. He married in 1927 and had three daughters Anna *1928, Ludmila *1931, Marie *1933 and a son Alfons *1936. Ludmila and Alfons were apprenticed to their father and worked with him until his death. Vávra was a very diligent maker. In addition to repairing , he built new instruments, in the early years even guitars, bass guitars and double basses. He built his violins and cellos after different models, often those of younger Italian violin makers. He also built some violas after the "Tertis" model. Later he mainly used models from Stradivari and Guarneri. His varnish is soft, sometimes less transparent, of golden, yellow-red or even red color. In 1949 he took part in the violin making competition in The Hague and in 1954 with great success in a national competition.
