Biographical/Historical note | An engineer, born in Madrid, living in Germany, Bremen-Lesum and then Baden-Baden. He had followed the writings of F.A.Saunders and was much interested in the construction and acoustics of violins. He was very good at getting people together and working with others; in the 1960s introduced CMH and Schelleng to Prof Werner Lottermoser of the PTB in Braunschweig who had been researching violins for many years; also to Dr. Jurgen Meyer who was at that time Lottermoser's assistant; made possible an exchange of free violin plates for tuning as well as a completed violin for comparative tests between Schelleng-CMH and Lottermoser-Meyer with many records of the effects of changes. Reder had violins made by meister Hans Klotz of Mittenwald and Dietrich Liebenwein of Baden-Baden with records on plate tones etc. and compiled free plate mode frequencies of many violins. He made possible a good visit with Fernando Solar, violin maker, in Madrid. Otto Reder was an enthusiastic member of the CAS, attended the first Mittenwald Symposium and wrote for the NEWSLETTER. Ill health prevented him from travelling to the USA. |
