I've seen a Kohlert E-flat alto (Boehm system) and restored a Kohlert
B-flat soprano (Albert system) and though both were very fine. The
soprano seemed to date from c. 1920.

By brother has a Kohlert bassoon from c. 1910 and it's excellent.

The consensus seems to be that Kohlert did excellent work up to about
WW2. Sometime after that, their work seems to have been less
impressive.

If your bass is an older one, it could be quite good indeed.
