After completing my apprenticeship as a master violin maker, I established my workshop in Baiersdorf in 1980. Over the course of time, my domestic and international clientele grew and my workshop became larger.

My two sons, Stefan and Christian, grew up around the workshop and also learned the craft of violin making.

• Stefan, born in 1981, passed his master craftsman’s examination in 2004
• Christian, born in 1984, passed his apprentices’ final examination in 200

Both have been playing the cello since they were six years old, enabling them to optimally set up an instrument. The family business is completed by my wife Susanne, who is in charge of all office matters and customer relations while also serving as the first point of contact for enquiries.
