Workshop

Most times several instruments are in construction at the same time – over there the raw case of a clavichord, aside of a nearly finished stringed harpsichord. For many customers I have documented photographically the construction of their instruments. At each stage of the building process I let any interested person look behind the scenes.

You can get some impressions from the photos shown here. And should you be interested in visiting me at Martinsgasse in Lennep, I would be happy to personally show you round through my workshop and to explain the instruments under construction to you.

News from my workshop

Shortly after completion: Polygonal spinet after Domenicus Pisaurensis. You can find further details under No. 02 of the Italian spinets on the page Italian Instruments.
