New Instruments
Violins, violas, and cellos – individually crafted in the classical tradition using select tonewoods.
The Workshop
Craftsmanship with tradition since 1990
In his workshop in Potsdam-Babelsberg, Markus Opitz has been crafting violins, violas, and cellos by hand for over three decades. Every instrument is unique – built with the patience and precision that only decades of experience can produce.
His training began in 1978 in Markneukirchen in the Vogtland region – the historic centre of German instrument making. As the son of a pastor in the GDR, the path was anything but straightforward – yet the passion for the craft could not be stopped.
"The sound is the best argument."
