Janos Ecseghy and his Team

The Masterpieces “Maestro” and “Sinfonia”

Janos dreamt to develop a unique model, following the basics of a Stradivari, but having specialized features. This specific model blends high, radiant, sweet sounds with the wonderful dark timbre of the G-string. In 2007, this model was presented with great success at the music fair in Frankfurt. About six of these individual instruments of this specific model are produced per year.

Due to his own life experiences, Janos Ecseghy sees the importance of offering good quality orchestra- and beginners-instruments with a reasonable price range to musicians. Therefore, the model “Maestro Classic” is prepared in a less expensive manner.

Many years of Violin Making Experience

Janos Ecseghy came to Germany over 45 years ago as a musician. He was an active member of the German Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, playing as a violinist. Even in his early years in Hungary, he was fascinated with the field of violin making. In his homeland, Janos dreamed of playing on good quality instruments, but due to political and financial conditions this was not possible. Therefore, he began working with a well-experienced violin maker and learned the first few important steps of violin making, gathering useful hand working techniques.

Upon coming to Germany, Janos further developed and fine-tuned his skills by working with the violin maker Alfred Neudörfer, as well as gathering more ideas and encouragement from professionals including Günther Lobe, Jürgen Klier, and Wolfgang Dotzauer, all of whom he is still in contact with today. While doing repair work and optimizing sound quality on famous instruments by soloists, Janos was impressed by Stradivari´s, along with Leandro Bisiach´s violins.

Violin Maker and Violin Teacher

With over forty years of violin experience, Janos Ecseghy is well fit as a violin teacher and believes that any beginner should learn on a well-sounding and easy to handle instrument. Therefore, he finds top quality instruments for students a priority.

His three sons Markus, Janos, and Albert have also ventured into the world of music. Markus is a pianist, who has been performing as a soloist since 1998. Janos completed his musical studies in 1997 and has been the lead conductor of the Badischen Staatstheater in Karlsruhe since 2003. In 1999 Albert also finished his music studies and then slightly changed fields, where he is now working as an accomplished architect. To this day though, he has not lost his love of music and musical instruments, and greatly supports his father in the shop where musical instruments are created.

Since 1991, the Ecseghy family has had a spacious abode in the Ludwigshafener Strasse in Mutterstadt. Today, the available selection of music notes and instruments has significantly increased since opening. Expertise advice can be ensured for all customers, thanks to the thorough and vast knowledge of Janos’ wife.
