History

After years of being an automatic unit constructor and a precision engineer and after eight years of studying how to build keyboard instruments in Europe, Markus Vogel „Marc“ (*1954) from Bad Ragaz in Switzerland, established the workshop and supplier company  „Marc Vogel, property for the harpsichord construction“ in 1984 in Jestetten. His ambition was to connect historical ideas and materials for keyboard instruments with today´s demands and possibilities,  to lower the commercial barriers for the musicians.

Although his upcoming desease „Marc“ was putting all his effort into the development and precise production of the products, as well into the trainings of his employees, to whom he transferred the company in 2004. As to that, there was the transition from the Marc Vogel e.K. - „property for the harpsichord construction“ to the company „Marc Vogel oHG- property of harpsichords“, which started to be a GmbH in 2009.

Michael Scheer (*1950, †2014) grew up in the children‘s home Pestallozzi at the Bodensee and started to build up his studio „Kielflügelkunst (Harpsichord Art)“ in Jestetten in 1980, together with his friend Marc Vogel. His preference was about the most precise and difficult keybord instruments. This could have been the slogan: „Music instruments should be playable, sound good and inspire the musicians to something new.“

After the retirement of „Marc“, Michael Scheer also was, next to the construction of music instruments, proprietor and manager of „Marc Vogel GmbH - Cembaloteile“ and responsible for the internal and external consultation.

With his extensive knowledge in theory and practice about historical keyboard construction he attended the company since its establishment.

Between 2004 and 2013, the joint partners Sabrina Weissenberger, Waldemar Zimmermann and the long lasting employees Carlo Mezzullo, Tina Jahnke and others took part of the continuity of the company.

Since 2012 Michael Scheer knew about his disease of cancer and he tried till his very end to support the employees and the company as well as to afford a harmonic change of generation. So in January 2014 both companies were consolidated and Roman Sukac assumed the management of the company.

Before his impended death „Mischa“ wrote a farewell letter to all his friends and the customers.
After Mischa died Roman became the sole owner of „Marc Vogel GmbH“.
