Brass instruments in Preitenegg: Crafts meets passion!

Preitenegg, Österreich - in Preitenegg, Martin Gönitzer opened his very personal “specialist workshop for brass instruments”, and that just on his 30th birthday on August 6, 2024. The trained instrument maker who enjoyed his training in Bavaria and gained experience in a Graz workshop decided to combine his skills in his own workshop. With 50 square meters of space, it offers a variety of repair and maintenance services for musical instruments ranging from piccolo trumpets to B-tubes. A special focus is on the repair of trumpets and wing horns. Gönitzer emphasizes that repairs can be used between one and a half and 40 hours depending on the effort, and the prices are determined individually, based on the severity of the damage.

repair as a sustainable solution

at a time when consumption and disposable mentality dominate, the repair of products is becoming increasingly important. Just as Gönitzer passionately brings musical instruments back to life, the consumer advice center North Rhine-Westphalia advises not to think of a new purchase immediately in the event of defective objects. Often it is only small defects that prevent us, and these can often be remedied in just a few simple steps. Repairing is not only fun, it is also a cost -saving and sustainable alternative that protects valuable resources.

more and more are found in the cities of repair cafes, where people work together on broken devices, supported by experts who give tips on repair. This type of community experience not only promotes the reusability of objects, but also social cohesion. With his workshop, Gönitzer himself not only combines craft and creativity, but also contributes to the growing relevance of the repair culture. And at a time at a time when sustainability and environmental protection are more than ever in the foreground, as consumer center.
