AboutAl Dzina Expertise I can answer questions about violin and guitar making and restoration. I will not answer questions about playing these instruments, because I am a maker, not a player.
Experience I was trained in violin making in Germany and have been working at this craft for sixty years.

Question I have a'Copie of Antonius Stradivarius Cremonenfi? Faciebat Anno 1716 Made in Germany' that is, I believe, a 3/4 size ( it appears to be for a child) in good condition that I would like to have appraised in the Los Angeles area. Any suggestions on where to take it?
