I was born in Berlin in 1973 and started to play the Cello at the age of ten.

Drawn by my own fascination with violin making, 

I moved to Cremona after graduating from university 
in order to learn that unique trade, devoted to the art of music. 

After having dedicated two years to the research of the methods of construction used by the old masters, 
I decided to move to the idyllic Tuscany in 1997.

    On what kind of instruments the music of Corelli and Bach were first performed?

With this question in mind, I started to go further into the methods 
of construction and the charming world of ancient music. 
I realized that I wanted to create instruments which satisfy the requirements of the baroque era,
producing a fresh and crispy sound - resulting from working on carefully selected materials 
with sensitiveness and calmness in an inspiring environment. 

And it is exactly that music I love which drives me to make another instrument, 
a unique and individual item whose character is often surprising myself and 
fills my heart with joy,when the sounds of the music open up new dimensions.
