Anyway, it wasn’t easy, making a violin on my own, but I was certain to make a proper violin at the first effort. I can well remember, every violin maker I talked to at the time, adviced me to buy cheap woods and take the first violin just as an experiment to lean. I did the opposite, I bought master grade stuff, long story short, it took me 15 months to make my first violin (spending around 900 to 1000 hours).

​​​​​​​The beginning of violin making

Since I was a chide, I have always had the side activity beside my job (being a mechanical engineer) to build all different stuff. In 2017 accidently I saw a youtube video of a man (Davide Sora, one of the greatest handmade vilion maker) making a violin. That moment was a huge turn in my life. The day after that I started to make a violin.

My Story

I have always had a deep passion for building and fabricating wooden things. From a young age, I was a good student ranking top three student in my city and upon university international entrance exam in Iran I was 788th highest student in the country. This lead me to study mechanical engineering in one of the top universities in Iran.

​About Me

 I was so much exited to see if my violin is playable at all, when my brother who is a violinist played it, I can still remember the first word he said, “I never heard a violin sounds any better than This). That being said, my brother also had never played any high level violins at that time. I also showed it to a violin teacher and he was also amazed and admired my work.
 
I didn’t expect that, all those comments gave me a huge motivation to carry on and make next violins and keep going ahaed. Last year I had a chance to attend a meeting that several violin makers were attended and It was where I started to think of selling my violins. My violin was quite higher quality in both ways Sound and Aesthetically. 
 
 
I have a huge passion for violin making, being a perfectionist man, and acquiring great hand skills and eyes, helped me soon capable of making excellent violins.
