Stefan-Peter Greiner

Who is Stefan-Peter Greiner?

Stefan-Peter Greiner is a successful German luthier.

He built his first violin at the age of 14. He completed his training in Bonn, where he currently resides.

Greiner's goal is to build instruments which come close to the singing voice, which means focusing on the range from 2000 to 4000 Hz.

During a longstanding partnership with the Remagner physicist Heinrich Dünnwald, who has acoustically analysed over 1300 violins, Greiner has succeeded in coming closer and closer to the antique sound of Guarneri and Stradivari.

Stefan-Peter Greiner received the Rheingau Musikpreis of the Rheingau Musik Festival in 2003.

Performers such as Christian Tetzlaff, Kim Kashkashian, Leonidas Kavakos, Antje Weithaas, Frans Helmersson, Bruno Monsaingeon, Isabelle van Keulen, the Keller Quartet and members of the Hagen Quartet and the Alban Berg Quartet are among his clientele. So far over 100 CDs featuring his instruments have been released.
