Bernd Fischer:

After a musical education and a thorough training in all aspects of woodworking and wood technology I decided to combine my love for wood and for the music of the basso-continuo-period. In 1973, at the age of 28, I started a second apprenticeship at the workshop for historical keyboard instruments of Adlam-Burnett in Goudhurst, Kent / England.

After the closure of that firm in 1980, I set up on my own in 1981 and moved to a workshop in Welbeck, Nottinghamshire/England, together with Derek Adlam. As two independent one-man-businesses we worked under the same roof of the Harley Foundation

For family reasons, I left England in summer 2003 and moved back to Germany and set up my workshop in Schlitz in Hessen.
