Born in Lienz, East Tyrol, first musical tuition at the age of six. Founder and "boss" of the Wiener Floetenwerkstatt.

Werner Tomasi studied flute at the Vienna Academy (now University) of Music and Performing Arts with Prof. Barbara Gisler-Haase. He is a Vienna Philharmonic WANAS Foundation prize winner. He performed earlier in concerts with various ensembles and orchestras, and due to a lack of time today he remains solely a member of the Vienna Flautists, an association of eight flautists. Since 1986 he has carried out State-sponsored research projects related to flute construction in collaboration with the Vienna Academy of Music's Institute for Viennese Tonal Style.
