Jakob Stainer Prize for Tyrolean master violin maker

With her expertise, Claudia Unterkofler is making a significant contribution to the further development of early music and is following in the tradition of Jakob Stainer with her craft.

At the suggestion of the Cultural Advisory Board for Music, the Tyrolean now receives the Jakob Stainer Prize, endowed with 5100 euros. It is awarded every two years at the Festival of Culture in the fall. The award is named after the Absam violin maker Jakob Stainer (1619 to 1683). It is intended to bring artists for special achievements in the field of early music to the fore.
