EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Johann Reiter, a renowned musical instrument maker from Mittenwald, Germany, is surrounded by his extraordinary creations. The image, taken in 1911, showcases Reiter's workshop filled with an impressive array of stringed instruments, including lutes, cellos, violas, and violins, suspended from the ceiling. The cluttered yet organized space is a testament to the high art of carpentry and precision workmanship that has been passed down through generations in this small German town. The Reiter family's connection to instrument making can be traced back to Johann Baptiste Reiter, who founded the workshop in the late 1800s. Having studied under renowned violin makers Johann Baader and Jean Vauchel, Johann Baptiste won several medals and awards for his violin-making skills. He was a leading figure in Mittenwald, where over 300 of the town's 1,800 residents were violin makers. In this photograph, we see Johann Reiter's son, also named Johann, continuing the family legacy. The workshop's walls are adorned with tools and various other crafting essentials, while the instruments hang from the ceiling, ready for fine-tuning. The image evokes a sense of creativity and dedication to the craft, as well as the rich history and tradition of musical instrument making in Mittenwald, Germany.
