One of the finest contemporary makers we have encountered, Günter Lobe learned his craft in the traditional German apprenticeship system. With this firm foundation and a gifted artistic sensibility, Lobe won international awards for his making, including several medals at the "Triennale Internazionale" in Cremona. He attributes high success to close interaction with professional musicians and a deep respect for the great old Italian masters. The meticulous workmanship and stunning tonal qualities of Lobe's instruments are to be enjoyed for generations to come.
