Early life[edit]
He comes from a musician family. His grandfather was violinist, his father was double bassist, double bass teacher and luthier. His attention and interest in music began to appear very early in his childhood, especially his attention to strings.
Studies[edit]
His masters were Péter Temesvári and Tibor Semmelweis. In András Menich's workshop he studied sound vibration. During traveling years, 1988–1991, after a period of study and young assistant work, he worked in excellent and unique instrument making workshops in Germany, in the Netherlands and in France.
Barnabass Workshop[edit]
When he returned home in 1992, he established his own workshop, now known worldwide as Barnabass.[7][8][3]
In 1996 he obtained a master's degree in the workshop of Pál Sáránszki. In 1999, he was awarded the first prize Ten Outstanding Young People Hungary[9] for his work on reviving the Hungarian bass making and restoration.
Recent decades, with the help of his students, he has developed an internationally recognized restoration technique: the Barnabass method, which is known from Austria to Norway, from the United States to Osaka.
In 2010, for the thirtieth anniversary of his professional career, he had a solo exhibition at the Palace of Arts, in Budapest. In 2012 he was awarded the Hungarian Silver Cross of Merit[10], and opened his Atelier in Berlin. In 2013 the Budapest Chamber of Commerce and Industry declared him the Silver Wreath Master.
In 2018 he was commissioned by the Hungarian State Opera to produce four double basses.[9] He regarded that this gesture was one of the high points of his career. Order from contemporary master had not had for more than a hundred years.
In 2019, Plácido Domingo honored him with his double bass order as part of the Virtuoso program in Hungary.[11]
He is exhibitor and performer at numerous international classical and jazz music festivals and cultural programs.[9]
