HOWARD CORE JOHANNES KÖHR K515C CELLO

The Johannes Kohr K515C Cello captivates with its elegant craftsmanship, powerful resonance, and fiery aesthetic — an exceptional instrument for intermediate and advancing cellists. Built to deliver expressive tone and artistic depth, this fully carved cello combines refined materials with dynamic tonal performance for musicians ready to elevate their sound.

Handcrafted from a solid spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, the K515C offers a balanced tonal palette marked by warmth, clarity, and projection. Its bold antiqued red-brown varnish, layered over a golden ground, gives the cello a striking visual identity while enhancing resonance and tonal complexity. The voice is rich and resonant, with a clear response across all registers — equally suited for solo, chamber, or orchestral performance.

Professionally fitted with ebony Parisian-eye pegs, a Despiau “D” level French bridge, and a composite tailpiece with fine tuners, the Johannes Kohr K515C delivers reliability, comfort, and tonal precision. Strung with D’Addario Kaplan strings on full-size models (and Helicore strings on fractional sizes), this cello provides consistent projection and smooth playability across its range.
