Hagen by Walter Mahr, internationally registered as "Hagen," crafts exceptional German-made instruments using premium tonewoods with a minimum natural air-aging period of 50 years. Committed to sustainability, Hagen employs environmentally friendly practices and carefully manages every stage of production, from tonewood sourcing and cutting to sorting and storage. This dedication ensures unmatched quality in their instruments. All instruments in the K series are crafted under the guidance and supervision of Walter Mahr, a highly acclaimed master violin maker, repairer, restorer, and appraiser based in Germany.
The K3 model showcases a beautifully medium-flamed maple back and sides paired with a high grade spruce top, all finished in an elegant brown hue.

All tonewoods used in the K series have been aged for over 50 years, made possible through their partnership with a Korean business associate.
Hagen has collaborated with music specialists worldwide, earning growing international acclaim. Their instruments have been successfully used in auditions at prestigious institutions such as the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Hochschule für Musik Berlin, and Mozarteum Salzburg.
