Experience the richness of my historically built harpsichords.
With a passion for sound and craftsmanship, I build, tune, and create harpsichords that echo a bygone era – producing sounds that linger.
Inspired by the originals of the 17th and 18th centuries, I build harpsichords that are not merely reconstructed but sonically unique—rooted in deep knowledge, craftsmanship, and 29 years of experience.
I create harpsichords with expertise, sensitivity, and a love for detail.

Giulia Nuti recorded the six Partitas by J.S. Bach on my Vatter-Hemsch harpsichord. This recording makes audible like few others the sheer tonal richness this instrument possesses.

I played the Vatter-Hemsch harpsichord of Christian Kuhlmann a few weeks after it was finished. The sound was already the one of an ancient harpsichord! (...) The musician's choice!
