On January 4, we received the following from NAMM’s Dan Del Fiorentino:
News was received our dear friend Christian Hoyer in Bubenreuth, Germany that Artur Teller passed away. His funeral was held today in the small town he proudly called home.

Mr. Teller created a successful career by producing highly regarded violin bridges and supplying them to luthiers in and around his hometown. Like many of the instrument builders he sold to, Artur and his family moved to Bubenreuth after World War II as the small town sought to bring luthiers to the area in order to help redevelop the town following the war. Artur expanded his business over time by selling his products outside of the area and soon around the world.
