Welcome on the website of my workshop!

My affection for music instruments, my music abilities come from the music family ties. I play the contrabass, cello and bass guitar.

As assistant music instrument maker I stood at the work-bench in 1980 for the very first time. Under the guidance of my master, Péter Temesvári I passed the exam for assistants with success. My knowledge in theory is due to my former instructor, Tibor Semmelweis. As a young assistant I worked in András Menich’s workshop, where I was involved with tone physics and vibration.

The years between 1988-1991 were marked with the features of a future master, i.e. these were the years of getting around in the world. I worked in Germany probably in the biggest showroom of contrabass of the globe. And it was also the time when I finally decided for the favour of contrabass. I was lucky to restore really serious, many-hundred-year-old Italian, French, English and Spanish master instruments, which still can be used and seen after restoring the original state in several orchestras of the world.

Having completed the years of travelling I returned home with practical expertise and contacts in Europe and in 1992 I could create my own workshop. The one-man workshop has by now grown into a workshop employing several assistants and apprentices and has deserved high reputation locally and in Europe as well. In 1996 I got my master certificate from Pál Sáránszky’s workshop.
In 1999 I received the first award of the tender ‘Ten prominent youngsters in Hungary’ in recognition of revival of contrabass making and restoration. I feel specially honoured by the fact that it was me, a master living nowadays a Hungarian orchestra ordered a contrabass from for the first time after fifty years.

It is a great pleasure for me to give lectures at the international meeting of contrabass players held at the College of Debrecen in the topic of music instrument making and restoration.

I believe if we revive the tones of old instruments of renowned old masters, their soul will also return. With dedication, honest and high-level work I work hard for this target with colleagues trained in my workshop.
