Jürgen Voigt comes from a long tradition of musical instrument makers in the region of Markneukirchen starting as early as 1756. His grandfather and great-grandfather were bow makers and because of demand and to diversify, the family also started to make brass instruments. Beginning 1962, Jürgen learned the craft from his uncle, Horst Voigt, and then started working for B&S Blechblas und Signal-Instrumenten Fabrik Markneukirchen. In 1988, Jürgen established his own workshop crafting trumpets, trombones, flugelhorns, and historical instruments.
