Testimonials

Alex Gartsman is a rare gentleman in the violin trade…..he loves violins, and bows! To find someone as expert and professional when looking to purchase a fine instrument is essential, and sadly rare. Alex doesn’t deal in instruments that are more glue than good and call them mint like is so often the case. I bought my JB Vuillaume violin and my JJ Martin bow form Alex and the condition of both is stunning! My experience with Alex Gartsman has been wonderful and I recommend him enthusiastically.
