About the Maker
Andreas Preuss is a contemporary German-born luthier who went to Tokyo as a teenager to study to be a luthier under Soroku Murata. Preuss has since settled in Tokyo. He has great facility in making antiqued as well as straight-varnished instruments, with his copy of Paganini’s Gaurneri ā€œdel GesĆ¹ā€ as an example of the former. When antiquing his instruments, Preuss embraces natural methods of staining the wood. ā€œThis way, when my instruments get additional wear, it just looks natural,ā€ he explains. Preuss has received a Gold Medal for viola at the Violin: Soul & Shape competition in Moscow.
