About me
|
| |
| Ever since I began playing guitar as a child, I have
been under the spell of these instruments. When I found
out as a student in school that they still make high
quality guitars in handcraft even though industries have
developed so much, I knew this was the job of my dreams.
And I have chased this dream very determined. |
|
|
|
| After I had finished school
and civilian service, I have first become a journeyman of
plucked instrument making. Afterwards I educated myself
further by studying to get my B.A. In instrument making
and finally became a master craftsman in 2012. |
|
I have learned my
profession from many different guitar makers, e.g. H.
Drechsler, K. H. Neudel, A. Gropp, C. Sembner, A.
Beardsell and G. Byers – just to mention a few of them. As
part of my education in Germany I have been on an
internship in the USA and Canada for have a year, where I
have learned from several brilliant guitar makers. They
have given me a lot of insights into their methods and
special techniques.
|
|
| Since 2005 I have been
making about 8 to 10 instruments per year and I
concentrated on making and constantly improve classical
guitars. |
|
| In 2013 I finally went into
business with my very own master workshop to build and
repair instruments in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Gemrany
where I come from. |
