Quentin Blumenroeder
Quentin Blumenroeder received his first training in instrument making during three years spent in a workshop of restoration and construction of mechanical musical instruments Atelier Robert Hopp (pianolas, limonaires, barrel organs). This experience allowed him to become familiar with pneumatic traction systems.
He then spent seven years in Rémy Mahler’s workshop, during which time he took part in the construction of many new organs, as well as in rehabilitations and and restorations.
During this period he obtained his qualification (C.A.P.) as an organ builder. He later won the SEMA Grand Prix Régional for craftsmanship.
Quentin Blumenroeder completed his training with a year spent with Bernard Aubertin, organbuilder in Courtefontaine (Jura).
In addition, regular visits to the workshops of Emile Jobin, harpsichord maker in Paris, allowed him to acquire the mastery of the ancient techniques (gluing and finishing) that are so important to him. He was elevated to the rank of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres in 2016.
