Hagen by Walter Mahr K0 Cello – Handmade in Germany

The Hagen K0 is the entry point to the esteemed Hagen cello range, meticulously handcrafted in Germany under the expert guidance of master luthier Walter Mahr. Designed on a Stradivarius model body, this cello features a rich antique brown varnish, lending it both visual warmth and a sense of tradition.

Each instrument in the K-series is built using only European spruce and flamed maple—naturally air-aged for over 50 years—selected for their tonal richness and structural integrity. This time-tested wood gives the cello remarkable resonance, clarity, and depth of tone, ideal for players developing their craft.

The K0 comes equipped with a high-grade maple bridge, ebony fingerboard and pegs, and a premium Akusticus tailpiece for enhanced tuning stability and tone projection. Made for those who value craftsmanship, tone, and heritage, the Hagen K0 is an excellent choice for discerning students or enthusiasts seeking a truly German-made instrument that will grow with them.
