Bernd Hiller

Born in Berlin, Germany in 1963. In 1980, he began studying instrument making under Bernhard Wölz.

He passed the string instrument maker's exam in 1986 and went independent in 1988, setting up his own workshop in Markneukirchen.

In 1990, he won the viola category at the International Violin Making Competition "Jacob Stainer".

~Features of the instrument~

Hiller's violins and cellos are made in a consistent style, with roughly carved scrolls, bold F-holes, and a deep brown varnish for an antique look.

In stark contrast to its rough appearance, the tone is warm and full, making it particularly popular for mid- to low-pitched instruments such as violas and cellos.

We also regularly produce fractional size violins, which are also very popular.
