Travelling the world as a German violin maker is a rich and rewarding experience. By visiting different countries and cultures I gain new inspiration from local craftsmanship, musicians and artists. Thus I can build new relations and collaborations, and seek out opportunities to learn from others. These experiences inspire my own work and enable me to share my love of music with people around the world.
Currently I am based in the wonderful MENA region with its rich tradition. My instruments are worldwide available for trial and for sale in selected workshops. Please feel free to contact me or check the store finder.
As a traditional violin maker I take great pride in using only the finest tonewoods and century old techniques when it comes to building my own instruments. They meet both artisan precision and a remarkable sound quality. My violins, viola, celli and double basses feature a rich, warm tone that is perfect for solo and ensemble playing.
The hand-carved spruce top and flamed maple back and sides produce a depth and complexity of sound that only handmade instruments can provide. Each instrument is carefully inspected and adjusted to ensure optimal playability, and the varnish enhances the natural beauty of the wood. I am looking forward to creating your custom made instrument that meets your individual needs and preferences.
All instruments on display are currently available. Besides my own instruments, I do also offer a fine selection of old and new instruments from reputable makers. I also offer custom modifications to enhance your playing experience.
I have years of experience in breathing new life in any kind of instrument whether it be a violin, viola, cello or double bass, from simple repairs to complete restorations. I am aware of the emotional connection between musicians and their instruments, and I take great care to preserve the character and history of each instrument I work on.
I carry everything I need in a compact and portable case, so I can set up my shop and start crafting exquisite violins wherever I go. My mobile workshop is highly adaptable to various environments and designed to be portable, making it easy to move around and travel from place to place. It also is climate-controlled to protect the wood from changes in temperature and humidity. By the way, this is just an idea for a mobile workshop section with a placeholder text.
Let's embark on a journey together, where inspiration meets possibility.
