Hristo's 1992 violin

Violin made by Hristo Tchechmedjiev, 1992

"I could not believe my ears. The last violin you made has an incredible sound even surpassing most of the old Italian violins I have owned. It's a brilliant and silken sound together with carrying power, richness, and and most of all it's beautiful singing quality make it the kind of fiddle you don't want to quit playing on. It is pure pleasure. There are some excellent violin makers today and your artistry is right at the top and sets a standard that most have not attained."
LEROY PETERSON, ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AND PROFESSOR OF VIOLIN
PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE, ANGWIN, CALIFORNIA

"As a proud owner of a beautiful viola (and violin) it brings me great pleasure every time I play this fine instrument. It is not only great to look at but its tone is smooth, beautiful and resonant. No question about it, as violin (string) maker, you are a first-class artist."
GEORGE WARGO, FORMER PRINCIPAL VIOLIST AND FIRST VIOLINIST WITH THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, WASHINGTON D.C.

Dear Mr. Tchechmedjiev. It was a real pleasure playing your violin! It has a wonderful singing quality of the sound, depth and warmth in the low register. The quality of the sound in combination with the powervul tone of each string makes your violin more desirable to me than most of the famous old Italian instruments I have played. It also looks beautiful and very easy to play. Congratulations with your success!
Sincerely, TODOR PEVEL, PROFESSOR OF VIOLIN
CONCERTMASTER, REDLANDS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

"I'm very impressed with these instruments-violins and violas. They are responsive, even, powerful and at the same time have a sweetness and richness similar to my fine old Italian violin."
WILLIAM BARBINI, CONCERTMASTER
SACRAMENTO SYMPHONY
