Ryan Fini Testimonials

  • "I was lucky to come across one of Ryan Fini’s violins not too long ago, and was instantly impressed by its deep and mature sound, immediate and clear responsiveness, evenness across the strings, and absolutely gorgeous and artistic workmanship. He sold it quickly, and I immediately purchased the next one. This is now my main instrument, and it’s an absolute joy to play. One would be hard-pressed to find a better value and beauty in a brand new instrument."

    -Ivan Stefanovic

    Associate Principal Second Violin, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

  • “Mark my words: soon you will hear the name Ryan Fini mentioned alongside the best instrument makers in the world. I had the privilege to be one of the first players to try his newest model and immediately fell in love with it. I offered to purchase it on the spot, but sadly, the cello was already sold to another person. The craftsmanship was impeccable, but more over, its sound was just astonishing - complex, resonant, responsive to the touch and above all, sweet as an old Italian or English instrument 4-5 times its worth. The cello was literally 3 days old, and it was ready to become a primary instrument for a high-level professional. I can’t wait for Mr. Fini’s next instrument.”
