Atelier für Geigen- und Bogenbau

The studio for violin and bow making is the culmination of two complementary personalities, careers and work ethics founded in 2007.

Nicholas Gooch and Irina Feichtl are not only colleagues, but have also been close friends for years. The mutual understanding of each other's ideas and aims provides a solid basis for a successful working partnership. This environment paired with the passion for new making as well as restoration brings every possibility to fulfill the individual needs and requirements of musicians.

While the violin maker Nicholas Gooch has many years of experience in new making and restoration of stringed instruments, Irina Feichtl has concentrated the past years in the field of bow making and restoration.

Here you will find professionalism, thorough advice and above all enthusiasm towards every aspect of work, from new making, through all techniques of restoration, rental instruments, up to the sale of professional quality instruments.

Wir freuen uns, Sie jetzt auch in Peißenberg neben unserem bereits bestehenden Laden in München begrüßen zu können. Termin nach Vereinbarung.

At the beginning of 2012 Nicholas Gooch designed this new violin model. Inspired by a violin from Carlo Bergonzi of Cremona in 1742, this model is beautifully balanced across all four strings and produces a powerful smooth, dark sound.
