Stefan-Peter Greiner

Stefan-Peter Greiner (born 1966 in Stuttgart) is a German luthier.[1][2]

He built his first violin at the age of 14.[3] He completed his training in Bonn, where he currently resides. His goal is to build instruments which come close to the singing voice,[3] 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. He received the 2003 Rheingau Musikpreis. His customers include Leonidas Kavakos, Kim Kashkashian, Bruno Monsaingeon, Frédéric Pelassy, Christian Tetzlaff,[3] the Keller Quartet and members of the Hagen Quartet and the Alban Berg Quartet.[4] Over 100 CDs featuring his instruments have been released.[5][6]
