I am an experimental Acheologist. Since my 30 Years of experience in experimental Archeology through dividing quality from quantity by sensoric and sound I came to surprising results. Then I transfered my results on to the sound of wooden Bodys, which expanded my research to Antique violins. Then i started making fine Stringed Instruments (Violins Viola Celli) with the knowledge of my research and exceptiomal Materials (2000 years old wood and 40000 years old mammoth tusk etc). Some Soloviolinist say that they are identic to a nice violin, with the only difference, that the sound seems to be from heaven. Other Solist like Anar Ibrahimov you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=335BlDQMyPk play them in Concert. One Violin was played for Pope Benedikt etc. The Bavarian Television produced dokumentary on this issue "The hunt for the lost tone" The new Stradivary. The sound of the Violin named SHY, measured tonal on db has around 20 percent or more Power and Animus as most of the very precious historic italian masters, we could measure. Despite of that, this violin posesses still the omniastralwhispering power of filling in the total of its Volume a large Concerthall. As I said the Instruments are the result of my research about the astounding results of ancient intuitiv crafts. I am a sientist,artist and not a violin Maker alone! Its great to to watch them in helping to form a career and fun to see and listen to them. I live directly at the Bavarian Alps with beautiful lakes in summer and lots of snow and fun in winter. www.mammutheum.de If you are seriuosly interested you are welcome to spend a Holyday in the Alps and try something special.

Some old also Italian violins from my Collection with certificates are on sale. You can listen to some on:
