The Leonhardt workshop: founded in Mittenwald - known throughout the world 

Luality doesn´t necessarily thrive behind closed doors. The Leonhardt workshop traditionally welcomes prospective buyers and those simply interested in the craft. This may be one of the reasons for the frequent visits the media pay to our shop.
Quality isn´t a question of being "discovered". Leonhardt quality instruments may be seen and heard both at the large European trade fairs (International Music Fair Frankfurt, Munich Trade Fair) and at important international expositions. We also participate with regular success in the main European violin making competitions.
Qualität hat ihren Preis. Manchmal sogar Mehrere

Quality can also be materially rewarding, as seen below:
  • 1989 Medal of Honor, First Place. Guild of Violin Makers of the Chamber of Skilled Crafts for Munich and Upper Bavaria.
  • 1993 Medal of Honor, Guild of French Luthiers.
  • 1995 Winner, Best German Music Instrument (for the violoncello "Bergfeuer"), German Ministry of Commerce.
  • 1997 Prize of the European Association of Violin- and Bow Makers for the best crafted instrument submitted by a European at the international competition in Mittenwald.
  • 2005 Special Prize of the Kreissparkasse Garmisch-Partenkirchen for handcrafting of excellence
Surely these awards account in part for the fact that Leonhardt quality instruments are heard throughout the world.
