Peter Baumann (instrument maker)
Peter Josef Baumann (born August 2, 1968 in Rosenheim ) is a German master brass instrument maker and owner of the master workshop for handmade brass instruments in Aschau im Chiemgau .
Life
Baumann grew up in the Baumann building contractor family in Aising near Rosenheim, where music has always played a major role. From the age of 13, Peter Baumann received instrumental lessons for trumpet and flugelhorn from Josef Obermayr, the orchestra leader of the Rosenheim junior brass band at the secondary school . After secondary school, the passionate brass player learned the trade of brass instrument maker with Axel Müller in Brannenburg. Peter Baumann was able to complete his journeyman's examination as the best guild and state winner.
After a stay in the USA in the workshop of the legendary trumpeter Doc Severinsen (manufacture of the Bell Canto trumpets), he returned to his homeland and initially worked for a number of years in the high-class brass instrument maker Ewald Meinl in Geretsried as a bell maker and body builder. After taking the master craftsman's examination in 1992, Baumann founded his own workshop in the rooms of the former business premises of the von Cramer-Klett family in Hohenaschau, which he would stay at home for another five years. In 1997, after the workshop had been successfully set up, the company moved into its own company and residential building in Kampenwandstrasse. One of the greatest professional successes of the father of two are the revival of the bass trumpet , as it was originally played in southern Germany up to the Second World War . The brass instrument maker also succeeded in successfully reconstructing a globally unique set of Wagner tubas (built around 1900) from the Vienna producers' cooperative for the Munich Philharmonic . Other specialties of the family business are the handcraft of the thinnest flugelhorns, trumpets and baritones. Since then, Baumann instruments have been used by many well-known musicians and orchestras worldwide from Australia to Japan, the USA and Europe.
