I bought the violin which Mr. Tambovsky chose for my daughter. It is the violin made by him and it sounds powerful, bright and clear. We've l loved it since the first day it arrived. Mr. Tambovsky is very kind and his responses are very quick. He also listened to our needs very carefully. Actually, he sent us the violin on the same day we talked on the phone. We really appreciate what he showed and offered us. I highly recommend this place.
