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 My daughter has played violin since she was eight now she is a married woman with four kids. I want to surprise her with a better violin. She played in her High School Orchestra for four years. She enjoys playing very much and wants to spark an interest in her kids.
Now she has a 3/4 size we bought used from a music store for less than a hundred dollars. I am in McAllen TX.
