Simone Regina Zopf was born in Grieskirchen, Upper Austria in 1974 but was soon transplanted to the Salzkammergut. Upon completing her school leaving certificate in Bad Aussee she enrolled at the HTBLA Hallstatt to learn instrument making and, hence, discovered the subject that would become central to her life. From 1996, she studied musicology in Vienna, where she shared a studio for making musical instruments with Nupi Jenner for 15 years. In 1999, she became the first woman to teach instrument making in the workshops of the HTBLA Hallstatt. She travelled weekly between the Salzkammergut and Vienna until 2011. She has since produced a range of publications in the areas of instrumental acoustics and historical instrument making. Her daughter Elena was born in 2009. In 2014, she and several students of instrument making discovered the geometrical structure of Cremona violins, a method of drawing violins with the help of concentric circles that had been lost since the 18th century. She has headed the instrument making workshops at HTBLA Hallstatt since 2016 and held overall responsibility for all artistic departments since 2020.
For the Ringing in performance at interventa Hallstatt, she and students of the HTBLA Hallstatt created bells based on traditional bellringers’ costumes. Participating students: Lukas Hammernik, Johannes Kutzenberger, Mio Martens, Fridolin Mayer, Stephan Partl, Adrian Rye; Supervision and Design: Mario Struger.
