About Us
Glockenklang
Handmade since 1975
Udo Klempt-Gießing founded the company Glockenklang in Herford in 1975. Initially, the focus was on the development and manufacture of high-quality PA, disco, DJ and studio equipment. Glockenklang attracted worldwide attention in the late 1980s with its ‘Bugatti’ reference system.
Today, our focus is on equipment for electric and double basses. We produce high-quality bass systems and electronics that enable an authentic reproduction of the instrument’s sound.

Hello everyone, dear music and bass fans of GLOCKENKLANG!
My name is Gawan Linnemann.
I am the new owner of this wonderful, 50-year-old company and would like to introduce myself briefly. It is a great honour for me to carry on the tradition, passion and craftsmanship that have made GLOCKENKLANG so special for half a century.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks for the trust placed in me by the previous owner. Thank you, Udo! I have big shoes to fill and will do everything I can to carry on the brand’s legacy with respect and passion.
Our focus remains the same: we want to continue creating the heart of your sound. Quality, innovation and that signature bass sound you love so much remain our top priorities.
I look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you and writing the next chapters in our company’s history.
Here’s to the next 50 years!
