A Fine Violin by Ryszard Florek
Bialsko-Biala, 2003
Ryszard Florek has made fine instruments
in his native Poland for many years. He studied under his uncle,
Jozef Bartoszek.
Our Florek is a graceful Strad model with
a transparent golden-amber varnish. Varnish is very slightly
shaded in some areas but has no artificial dents or nicks. We
cannot overstate the beauty of this instruments sound. It produces
a solid, complex and healthy tone, speaks easily, and with great
clarity, fullness and depth. It bears the makers label and
circular brand: Ryszard Florek Artista Lutnik.
Its sound rivals that of instruments
costing tens of thousand more.
