Peter Prier & Sons was established in 1965 by the immigrant violin maker Peter Paul Prier, who had been educated at the renowned Mittenwald School of Violin Making under Alois Hornsteiner and had worked for excellent makers and restorers in Germany such as Walter Hamma in Stuttgart. Seven years after opening his own shop in SLC, he founded the Violin Making School of America.
Today the shop is run by Peter Prier's son Paul Prier, who is an experienced bow maker and owner of JonPaul Bows, a business specialised on carbon fiber bows. In his father's shop he is still offering a wide range of instruments, accessories and services for musicians of all grades, including repairs, restorations and rehairs, but also informational resources for violin teachers.
