About Us

Welcome to the Laboratory

Herzlich Labs was founded by L.B.W. Lehmann in Copenhagen in 2022. I build modular synthesizer modules, studio equipment, and field recording gear - by hand, to a standard I set myself.

My Philosophy

I don't compete on scale, and I'm not chasing trends. Every decision here is made against a single question: is this the best the module can be? Not the most cost-effective, not the most manufacturable - the best, and the closest it can be to my vision for the ideal state of the module.

That applies to circuit design, to materials, to the tools I use in the workshop. If the answer requires developing a new supplier relationship or building something myself, that's what I do.

The Herzlich Way

My 3.5mm sockets are PVD coated. My custom knurled nuts are gold-plated brass. My power cables are silicone sheathed. My vactrols are hand-built according to years of continuous experimentation. Many of my modules use rigid chassis designs that take significantly longer to build and assemble.

Some of these choices are functional. Others are simply an expression of my uncompromising and tenacious wish for things to be a certain way - and being unwilling to settle for less.
