Jwillis Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Greetings…..I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with or knowledge of a violin maker named Ara Danielian? I believe that he is a real person but haven’t had much luck finding any information. All the best and happy new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothwein Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Not a maker, but an author Arnak (Ara) Danielian. Sorry not to link, but a quick Google search brings him up. I knew the name sounded familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I extinguished all of my googling options and figured Someone here might know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bio says he started playing at age 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bio says he started playing at age 3. Ok I should have been more specific. The label says ara danielian 2001. The bridge happens to be branded ara danielian. I also know that at one time (not in my possession)there was a nice bow that was branded ara danielian accompanying it. I do not know if the brand on the bow was the same as on the bridge because I didn’t see the bow. The thought crossed my mind he was perhaps some small dealer somewhere and not the maker. But you’d think there would be more info floating out there if he had a brick and mortar shop somewhere at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwillis Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Ok here are a few pictures Of the violin. It’s In the shop at moment getting a new bridge fit. I will post more detailed pics of corners, saddle, etc when I have it in hand. Inside is very nice willow linings and varnish is nice.
