German Pipemakers: Volker Bier

Hi Folks,

 

as a I told in my indroducing I will introduce some german pipemakers to you.

 

The first one is my dear friend Volker Bier. He lives in a small city called Lohmar. This is near to Cologne. There he works his pipes and is halftime pipe-retailer.

Volker makes pipes for a few years. Firstly I saw his pipes in 2006. At this time his pipes are nice but not elegant. The seem a little bit like TAO-Pipes. At thistime Volker called himself a "Hobbyrauchgerätehersteller". I don´t know what´s this in English. If I find pictures of them I will show you.

 

Nowadays his pipes are very elegant, sometimes with bamboo-shanks. In the last time he also works on Morta-Pipes. Really wonderful!

 

Take a look on hi pipes here:

Also he organise with his freind Jürgen a pipe show in Lohmar. Next year it will take place in Lohmar for the fourth time.

Here http://www.pfeifen-messe.de/ you can see pictures of th first show. Also he managed iun the beginn of September a pipeshow in Riga.

 

If you have any qustions about Volker, please ask.

 

Tom

I think it literally means a "hobbyist smoking instrument generator" but looking at the links, it means a damn fine pipemaker! Thanks.
