Biography
German lacquer cutting and mastering engineer. Started his career 1984 at Peter Harenberg's and worked there until 1986. Operates, where he uses a Neumann VMS 70 cutting lathe.
His cuts can be recognized by a cursive "Hi" etched in the runouts. Do not confuse with the similar-looking stylized "H1" etching of Peter Harenberg.
