Dirk Hesse

After finishing school, Dirk Hesse took a few years of orientation because the path outlined in the direction of natural sciences and technology (vocational school for electrical engineering later technical high school) was not exciting enough for him.

As a bass player, he became interested in making instruments at a very early age and built and sold custom-made basses as a hobby.
