HOWARD CORE AUGUST F. KOHR HC600C CELLO

The August F. Kohr HC600C Cello delivers professional-level tone, craftsmanship, and responsiveness in a model designed for advancing students and developing performers. Each instrument is carefully handcrafted from well-flamed, seasoned maple and choice spruce, with extended drying and aging at every stage to ensure long-term stability and acoustic richness.

Individually hand-graduated for resonance and projection, the HC600C produces a clear, open tone that responds evenly across all registers. Its balanced tonal core and quick articulation make it equally at home in ensemble work, solo repertoire, and study performance. The sound character sits comfortably in the medium tonal range—focused, resonant, and lively.

Finished in warm golden-brown to rich red-brown hues, the cello displays tasteful craftsmanship and visual depth. It features ebony Parisian-eye pegs, a lightweight composite tailpiece, a carbon-fiber endpin, and a Despiau “C” level bridge for refined tonal response and precise adjustment. Professionally strung with D’Addario Kaplan strings (Helicore on fractional sizes), this model offers dependable clarity, projection, and balance across all available sizes.

Each August F. Kohr HC600C Cello is professionally adjusted by skilled luthiers for ideal tone, playability, and consistency, ensuring it arrives fully performance-ready.
