What, in general, is the reputation of the violins made by Johannes Kohr and August Kohr, distributed by Howard Core? Are these Chinese made violins?

I played a K470 for a while and found it to be harsh and tinny, sort of. Even a change to Evah Pirazzi strings did not much help.

The most expensive instrument in the line is their HC7000 which appears to be available in Strad, Balastrieri, Ruggieri, Guadagnini, Bergonizi and del Gesu models. Strings magazine apparently had an article, featuring (and recommending) the HC602; I sure would love to see that article.

Your expertise appreciated. I am curious what is generally thought of them and what their professional reputation is.
