It is real pleasure to play on violins made by the remarkable master Andrian Andreev.

I am very happy to play the Andrian Andreev 1998 violin, inspired by G. Guarneri
"Del Gesu" 1742.
Jeweler workmanship and spiritual tone!
I will never separate from this violin!

CDs.
"I believe that Mr. Andrian Andreev is one of the most talented violin makers
today! His instruments possess rich and beautiful sound and the craftsmanship
is that of a great master."

I have two violins made by Mr. Andrian Andreev. They are built following the best
Italian tradition - beautiful shape and careful workmanship. They have excellent
sound and precise tone rich in overtones, clear and warm.

I highly recommend to all professionals, amateurs, collectors and dealers of string
instruments, the perfect work of the violin maker Andrian Andreev who brought
back to a new life my favorite violin "Tommaso Carcassi Firenze 1768".
His craftsmanship is remarkable for the exceptional accuracy and artistic appearance
in the detail making; perfect knowledge of the string instruments building; varnish
- close in composition and applying to the old Italian School.
The acoustic of his instruments is notable for the brilliant and rich timber,
the softness, the force and sound projection, all these precious qualities as
regards the concert performance.

Concert Master of the Symphony Orchestra of the Bulgarian National Radio,
Sofia, Bulgaria
I have two wonderful instruments made by Andrian Andreev. Every time I play they
give me various ideas for performing and more and more take the place especially
in the solo performance of my lovely “Panormo” (instrument in perfect condition).
Svetoslav Marinov, violinist and violist
Concert Master, Opera Theater Bremerhafen, Germany
I know Andrian Andreev since 1999 and I have the opportunity to play most of the
violins and violas he makes or restores in his workshop.
Our mutual work in the acoustic adjustment of the instruments let me feel their
unique character, beautiful sound and how easy are they to play.
Ivan Ivanov, violinist
Concert Master Assistant of the European Romany Philharmonic Orchestra
Concert Master of the Kazanlak Chamber Orchestra, Bulgaria
I was impressed by the sound projection and the warm color of the Andrian Andreev
violins. I was happy to record my first CD with one of his instruments model Guarneri
with warm baroque sound.
I have played four times as soloist and chamber music in the 22nd International
Festival of Music - January, 12 - 29, 2000 - Brasilia, Brazil with his instrument
model Stradivari. "The beautiful sound of your violin is like an elixir!" -
was the reaction of the public.
With the same instrument I won an international open audition for the Brazilian
Symphony Orchestra – 9th January, 2000 Brasilia, Brazil.
Andrian, the violins you make are alive and they have soul that sings!
It is a pleasure to play and to look at your violins!
Nadya Nedyalkova - Nedelman, violinist
Brasilia, Brazil
I am delighted by the violin making skills of Andrian Andreev and his professional
approach of working.
It was a good fortune for me to meet a luthier with such a talent and sense
of the violin making art.
Ivo Ivanov, violinist
National Opera of the Republic of South Africa, Pretoria
Spaciousness, depth, warmth, clarity of tone, all achieved with the
greatest ease - this is the magic of Andrian's craft!
Sacha Kraleva - Johnston, violinist
Violin teacher and member of orchestras, Dublin, Ireland
When for the first time I heard a violin made by Andrian Andreev in a concert
of Josif Radionov I was impressed by the brilliant sound of the instrument. Now
I play one of his violins and I am very happy to have such a precise instrument.
It is powerful, rich in expression and has noble timbre.
I am very happy because we have a master maker that is on the same level of
workmanship as the modern celebrities of the fine art of violin making.
Dessislava Stojanova, violinist
Wurttembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, Germany
I know some of the last made violins of Andrian Andeev – Stradivari and Guarneri
models. They impressed me by accuracy of craftsmanship, refinement and artistic
expression.
The sound is smooth, beautiful and has the thing we often search and rarely find
– the unique character!
Nikolay Gagov, violinist
Ex Dimov Quartet, Apolonia Quartet

One of the "Stauffer" prizes will go to the Bulgarian Andrian Andreev who during
the laboratory classes of violin making under the guidance of Master W. Zambelli,
made a copy of Niccolo Amati - 1656 violin built for the French Royal Court.
Most probably the original was made for the King Sun and because of this is
known as "King Louis XIV". Using 1:1 pictures of the original Andreev gave life
of his replica imitating even the restoration interventions on the original.
"La Provincia" daily paper, Cremona, Italia
Oleh Krysa - Ukrainian virtuoso of the violin, who has been living in the USA
since 1989, performed a recital in the new concert hall of the National Musical
school "Lyubomir Pipkov". The Maestro made furore as alternating with two instruments
- 300 years old "Guadagnini" and a purely new Bulgarian violin, an art work of
the young Bulgarian violin maker Andrian Andreev. His wife, Tatiana Tchekina accompanied
him on the piano. Oleg Krissa is the only one classical musician who has a star
with his name. He is ŕ professor at Eastman School in Rochester, the USA.
