About:
I am master luthier for guitar and lute making and, in addition, I have more than 40 years of experience and expertise as violin maker.
One area of focus of my work is in the field of bowed instruments, especially the violin, occasionally the viola and contrabass. Once in a while an instrument from the viola da gamba family is part of my work.
The second area is plucked instruments, mostly guitars, ranging from classic concert guitars all the way to steelstring guitars and also modern electric guitars, including the lute family and even zithers.
In essence: you can visit me if your instrument has a headstock, a neck and a body, furnished with strings.
