Ekkehard Stammwitz

I was born in 1945 in Schlesien and my first violin teacher made me interested in building violins since he did himself. Before retiring as cardiologist I took classes since 2008 and learnt from Jozef Novak in Slowakia. Since my retirement in 2010 I fully work in building violins and also play in two orchestras.
