Andranik Gaybaryan, Violin Maker
ANDRANIK GAYBARYAN started playing violin at the age of 6, and continued studying violin performance at the famous Rachmaninov Conservatory of Music in Rostov, Russia. At the same time he studied violin making with famous Russian luthiers such as Araik Resyan at the Rostov Conservatory, Yuri Pochekin, and Vyacheslav Suprun in Moscow.  After graduating with an Artist Diploma in Violin Performance, Andranik Gaybaryan was invited to head the restoration department at the Rachmaninov Conservatory. Simultaneously, he taught courses on the history of violin making at the Conservatory and the Rostov-on-Don Art College. He has worked at Stamell Strings since moving to the U.S. in 2001.
"It has been my pleasure and privilege to play Andranik Gaybaryan’s violin over the past year. This instrument’s beautiful sound helped me with performances on many concert stages as well as high resolution recordings and always drew praise from those hearing it. Its quality of sound has been remarkably consistent. I am always confident it will project a clear, rich tone whether in the coldest winter evening in a small chamber music venue or on a sweltering summer day in front of a symphony orchestra.
As one who is used to playing violins that are hundreds of years old I loved discovering a brand new master’s instrument. I am honored and happy to recommend Andranik’s work both to players and other violin lovers."
