My Awards
Hors Concours Award from the VSA, granted to only a handful of makers who managed to win three gold medals in three different competition years, awarded at the 2014 Violin Society of America’s 20th International Competition for new instruments and bows in Indianapolis, Indiana. With this award, I have retired from active competition. It was a fun ten year of competition!
