Our Story
Principal double bass player of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Matthias Beltinger, knew the problem: Conventional risers serve the height of the musicians, but do not improve the sound. Especially the clarity and articulation of low frequencies of double basses, cellos and harps is missing.
Over a period of almost two years Matthias and the design carpenter Bernhard Prösler developed modern resonance podiums, which support the sound of the instruments in clarity and sound projection in a natural way.
That was the beginning of the Resonanzio success story. Our podiums are now played in more than 60 cities and countries. Musicians are enthusiastic about the natural sound support, and stage managers praise the solid craftsmanship.
The enthausiastic feedback from our customers inspire our team to further develop the sound podiums and other acoustic products. In 2024, we designed a flexible resonance stage and reflector walls for the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. They are now also part of our portfolio.
Concert is emotion
For us, the concert experience is the focus: With clear resonance Resonanzio supports the musicians in their playing. Whether in churches, orchestra pits, or on the concert stage: The sound of the wonderful instruments is naturally enhanced in every acoustic environment by clarity and rich overtones. The full sonority reaches every person in the hall, creating a unique sense of community and an unforgettable concert experience.

That was a great experience, I haven't enjoyed playing that much at the Barbican for years. My bass felt so free and resonant, all of the wolf notes disappeared. They really are fantastic risers!
Not only do we hear ourselves better, our instruments sound like they've been replaced, as if a 'new engine' had been installed.
It's absolutely fascinating how clear and transparent the bass section now sounds! What a great invention!
What a joy to be able to play on the Resonanzio podium! My harp sounds wonderfully free and transparent!
Every concert hall should have a Resonanzio soloist platform!
OUR ANSWERS
What is the difference between a Resonanzio podium and a conventional podium?
Conventional podiums merely serve as a heightening element. The Resonanzio podiums, with their carefully thought-out concept of significantly improving sound, are a highly effective acoustic module for concert halls thanks to their resonant board made of the finest tonewood.
Can we test the podiums in our concert hall?
Yes, that's possible. We have test platforms in various shapes and heights, and we can deliver them cost-effectively in sturdy transport crates via a freight company. We also offer a rental/purchase model for testing purposes. Inquire about the availability of our test platforms
Do the resonance podiums also work for a cello section in an orchestra?
With the flexible height of the resonance platforms, cellists don't sit significantly higher than the other musicians in the orchestra. The Classic resonance platforms are now used by cello sections in many symphony and chamber orchestras around the world.
Prices?
For information about the prices for the Resonanzio product please contact us. We send you the price list.
Are the resonance podiums also suitable for churches?
Yes, the resonance platforms are very well suited for large, reverberant spaces such as churches. The sound of bass instruments, viols, wind instruments, and even harpsichords or chest organs is perceived in a focused and much more articulate manner.
Are the podiums available in different shapes and colors?
Yes, we offer various standard sizes, and any height from 12 cm upwards can be produced. Upon request, the pedestals can be manufactured in a shape different from the standard models. We also offer the pedestals in black.
