Greiner built his first violin at the age of fourteen. He completed his training in Bonn.
His goal was to build instruments that sounded close to a singing voice,[3] with focus on the range from 2000 to 4000 Hz. During a longstanding partnership with Remagen physicist Heinrich Dünnwald, who had acoustically analyzed over 1300 violins, Greiner felt that he had succeeded in coming close to the sound of centuries-old Guarneri and Stradivari instruments.[according to whom?]
