"Until I found my 2018 Michael Daddona violin, I was privileged to be performing on some fantastic modern and eighteenth-century Italian violins. Now, I am continually astounded that I have those qualities, and more, with my four year old violin! Michael, through his lutherie, demonstrates not just a mastery of craftsmanship, but the curiosity and integrity of the old Italian masters. As his client, you are also spoiled by his authenticity and generosity. He listens closely to you on issues of maintenance or adjustments - although his violins rarely need much - without any rush or pretension. My violin continues to surprise me, all these years later, with its depth of sound, vast color palette, and tone “complexity” that we string players can not really describe."
