==Biography==
Peter Prier was born on 27 February 1942 in Schlesien, Germany in 1942, the youngest〔Peter was born 2 months premature.〕 of four children. His father was killed in World War II. His remaining family (Peter, his mother and three siblings) moved to Bavaria in 1945 to escape the advancing Soviet forces. In 1955 he began attending a music school in Munich, but dropped out to help support the family. He then attended a violinmaking school in Mittenwald, graduating four years later. In 1960 he immigrated to the United States,〔Prier sailed to the US on SS Hanseatic, arriving after 5 days asea at Pier 42 in New York City on 10 June 1960. (from the 40th anniversary interview on KBYU-FM, aired 24 September 2012)〕 eventually settling in Salt Lake City, Utah. His first employment was as an instrument repair technician with the Pearce Music Company, where he met his future wife, Kay. For three years (1961-1964) he also held a post in the Utah Symphony, which at the time consisted of part-time musicians. He also served an enlistment in the United States Army before marriage and his 1965 founding of a violinmaking shop, the Violin Making School of America, in which he made violins, cellos and violas.
In 1972 he began accepting students, transforming the violinmaking shop into a true instructional laboratory. He later expanded this instruction to the fabrication of violin bows (1998), with the founding of the Bow Making School of America. He continued in these endeavors until his 2006 retirement, at which time he sold the school to a former student (graduated 1991), Charles Woolf.〔() ''Deseret News'', 15 June 2015, p. B1 Viviane Vo-Duc, "Master Violin Maker Peter Prier Dies at 73"〕 His sons Daniel and Martin continued the violinmaking shop.
Prier died in Salt Lake City, Utah on 14 June 2015. He was survived by wife Kay and their six children: sons Daniel, Martin and Paul; daughters Très Prier Hatch,〔(Tres Prier Hatch website )〕 Tamara Prier Stewart, and Kris Prier Edwards.〔() ''The Salt Lake Tribune'', 17 June 2015, p.
