Johannes Köhr K515 Student Violin (4/4)
A visual stunner that shines bright under the showroom lights. The bold antiqued finish is a deep red-brown over a golden ground that gives it a fiery disposition. The tone is also bold, with an extremely clear voice; big sound potential throughout, yet with a uniquely rich quality that carries evenly across all registers. The Johannes Köhr 515 is an excellent instrument for intermediate players seeking more range and personality. Adjusted with Thomastik Dominant A, D & G strings with Pirastro Gold Label E (ball end).
