Life

Count von Kerssenbrock comes from Lower Bavaria . He learned his trade with the Austrian organ builder family Mauracher in Salzburg. In 1969, he started his own business as an organ builder on a farm in Grünwald . Initially, the focus of his work was mainly on the restoration of historical instruments. In his new buildings, he oriented himself on historical models and relied strictly on the use of local woods.
