OUR COSTUMERS
Prof. Hartmut Lindemann, Cologne:
“As soon as I held my new Hampel viola in my hands, I started using it for all my concerts and recordings, including a very important jury member recital at the Tertis Competition in the year 2000. The instrument’s sound is immediately enthralling; it has a wide range of sonorities and an incredible ease of response. The varnish has a tasteful antique look, thus making this viola not only a delight for the ears, but also for the eyes.”
Gabriele Steinfeld, Hamburg:
“Today I am playing a Brahms programme in the Dresden Festival Orchestra on gut strings on my gorgeous Riebesehl violin: it sounds beautiful! And the response on this instrument is smooth as butter.”
Prof. Stephan Picard, Berlin:
"Klasse. Eine sehr schöne Geige."
Tuomas Roos, Helsinki:
"To have an instrument with a seemingly limitless range of sound colours and such responsiveness that it feels as if it followed my every thought and whim, is a true privilege. When on top of this my Riebesehl cello is simply beautiful to look at, what more could I ask for?"
Gabriel Bala, Solo violist, Düsseldorf:
"Sehr schöne Arbeit, gratuliere."
Gabriele Winter, Linz:
“To begin with, I congratulate you, Ms Riebesehl, for having built such a beautiful violin. I have already received a number of quite positive reactions, even from violinists who are thoroughly critical. Each day I am so glad to take up this violin and start playing it!”
Stefan Schmidt, Hamburg Philharmonics:
“Andreas’s copy is like the younger brother of my old Amsterdam violin!”
