Kruno's Violin Shop

04/29/2023

This past week, Kruno attended and entered a violin he built into the SVA Violin Makers' Competition and Conference in North Carolina. The convention was attended by a number of professional violin makers from all across the United States, as well as several international violin makers. Kruno was awarded first place and the Gold Medal for Tone for the violin he made, the only gold medal for violin tone that was awarded at the conference!

Yesterday I had the joy of performing Schubert’s Trout Quintet with Rossitza, Vesselin, Manny, and Sarah at WTAMU. For me, the night was even more special because Vesselin performed on a viola I custom-built for him. Here are a few photos of this viola during the building process. I’m looking forward to tonight’s concert at Street Toyota!

My good friend, Professor Zvonnikov, visited me in the shop today and took several violins for a test drive. Here he is playing on one of the violins for sale. If you know anyone currently in search of a new violin, please share.
