Geigenbau Winterling

Hamburg


In a city with such a distinguished classical music tradition, Geigenbau Winterling should be a pilgrimage place for serious musicians. You'll find exquisite stringed instruments, including some extraordinary historic pieces which have been restored here. It's not for the casual visitor and prices are suitably steep. But it has been an essential part of the city's musical fabric since 1890.
