Hagen by Walter Mahr K2 Cello – Handmade in Germany
A premium model in the Hagen cello range, the K2 elevates performance to a truly professional level. Designed for serious students and emerging artists, the K2 offers a focused, rich, and soloistic tone that cuts through with strength and clarity—perfect for advanced repertoire and stage performance.
Crafted by hand in Germany under the close guidance of master luthier Walter Mahr, the K2 features an elegant Stradivarius body shape. This cello stands out for its responsiveness and projection, giving the player complete tonal control and expressive range.
Its materials are exceptional: a stunning, flamed bookmatched maple back paired with a select European spruce top, both aged naturally for over 50 years to ensure tonal maturity and resonance. The body is finished in a warm honey-brown varnish with subtle light antiquing, giving the instrument a timeless, professional appearance.
Like all Hagen cellos, the K2 is fitted with high-grade components, including a finely carved maple bridge, Akusticus tailpiece, and ebony fingerboard and pegs. This cello is ideal for advanced cellists seeking a refined, solo-ready instrument with depth and presence.
