Career
He specializes in the modern Heckel (German) system bassoon and is one of the better known makers of Wiener (Viennese) oboes. He also makes a considerable number of historical instrument replicas of bassoons, oboes and clarinets, as well as child-sized models of the same instruments. Guntram Wolf has also developed a redesign of the contrabassoon after an acoustical concept by Benedikt Eppelsheim, called the "Contraforte".
The Contraforte has been received well in most countries but has a very small following in the United States, with less than a half dozen players of the instrument.
More recently, he and Eppelsheim have developed a redesigned bass oboe, called the "Lupophone".
