Instrument building The production of plucked instruments of various categories requires not only a high level of expertise and a love for details, but also special knowledge of working with and storing a wide range of indigenous and exotic types of wood. Georg Gose acquired this knowledge during his apprenticeship at an early age at the renowned music store Klein in Koblenz. Traditional artisanship and the knowledge of how to use the most modern materials makes each instrument a unique masterpiece with an individual sound and design; the customer’s wishes are always taken into account. An intensive personal dialogue with the customer lays the foundation for building each instrument. The emblem and brand of the Georg Gose Meisterwerkstätte uniquely identifies these special instruments, and symbolizes a family tradition which is continued in the next generation by Robert Gose, the son and apprentice of the luthier. |
