HARTMUT OMETZBERGER plays on an exceptional violin, made by Ada Quaranta in 2019. Audience members continually ask Hartmut about his violin, and without exception, they believe that it must be an old Italian. It is with great joy that he can tell them that they had just been listening to a great modern instrument.

 

 

HARTMUT OMETZBERGER plays on bows made by Tibor Kovac.

 

The violin trade was "probably the only trade in the world where the old is continuously more admired than the new. . . "

-- Nicolas Lupot (1758-1824)
