Biography
Apprenticeship in Mittenwald 1978-1982
Journeysman years at Hieronymus Köstler
Own business since 1991
As a new maker, I actually make “new” instruments without imitating unlived age in the varnish.
Instruments of great stylistic expressiveness are created with precision craftmanship and home-cooked varnish.
Assuming the noble basic sound, I attach great importance to the best playability and individual sound optimisation.
By this I mean balance, ease of response, selectivity, stress tolerance and above all dynamic variability.
In this way I achieve a changeable sound with a good carryingpower, that ideally corresponds to my sound ideal and inspires the musician in his artistic expression.
