Klang-körper-bau Next violin making workshop for string players on February 9th 2025
I am a maker of fine violins, violas and cellos based in Berlin. I was born and grew up in Augsburg in the south of Germany. In 2001 I entered the Civica scuola di liuteria di Milano, where I studied violin making for 4 years under the guidance of Luca Primon. Since then I have put my focus on the construction and the set-up of instruments of the violin family. For several years I have also lived and worked in Cremona, before returning to Germany where I worked independently in Berlin and Freiburg. I also worked and gained experience in workshops in both cities, as well as in various other workshops in Germany and England. I am taking part in educational workshops in Europe and the U.S. and constantly meet up with colleges to study together and to share experiences . Since 2012 I work in my atelier in Berlin-Kreuzberg. My instruments are played by musicians from around the world.
