Instruments by Stefan-Peter Greiner
In November of 2021, the Velvet Quartet were selected by Gesellschaft der Freunde und Förderer der Folkwang Universität der Künste e.V. (GFFF) to receive the loan of four instruments built by luthier Stefan-Peter Greiner (link to his page). Remarkably, the four instruments, built in 2018 in London, are all made out of wood from the same tree. This gives them an incredibly similar sound that mixes into every chord, and encourages us all to play as one.
We are grateful to the GFFF and to Mr. Andreas Reiner for their work in supporting young musicians!
