Florian Vorreiter Lutherie, Canada Canada

About:

Florian Vorreiter was born in 1978 in Kassel, Germany and grew up in Berlin. His love for music and drawing led him to start playing the violin at age six and spend a lot of time drawing. In his youth he started playing the guitar and discovered spraycans, airbrush, oil and various other techniques for his paintings.

His father, who was restoring instruments for a museum for many years and repaired instruments in his workshop at home, first exposed Florian to lutherie. Later he met Izzedin Temo, a musician who plays and makes Tanbur. These two people have influenced him substantially to become a luthier.
