R. Fini Instrument Testimonials

I was lucky to come across one of Ryan Fini's violins not too long ago, and was instantly impressed by its deep and mature sound, immediate and clear responsiveness, evenness across the strings, and absolutely gorgeous and artistic workmanship. He sold it quickly, and I immediately purchased the next one. This is now my main instrument, and it's an absolute joy to play. One would be hard-pressed to find a better value and beauty in a brand-new instrument.

Mark my words: soon you will hear the name Ryan Fini mentioned alongside the best instrument makers in the world. I had the privilege of being one of the first players to try his newest model and immediately fell in love with it. I offered to purchase it on the spot, but sadly the cello was already sold. The craftsmanship was impeccable, but moreover, its sound was just astonishing — complex, resonant, responsive to the touch, and above all, sweet as an old Italian or English instrument four to five times its worth. The cello was literally three days old, and it was ready to become a primary instrument for a high-level professional. I cannot wait for Mr. Fini's next instrument.

A. Fini Bow Testimonials

Ever since I acquired my Fini bow in 2024, it has quickly replaced all my other bows, including two much more expensive French ones. I love the quick response and depth of sound I am able to get from my instrument using the Fini. Undoubtedly, Aaron is one of the most exciting and talented young bow makers around.

Aaron Fini is already a master bow maker. His bows are exquisitely crafted and a joy to play on my 1687 Stradivarius. They produce a beautiful sound and have a wonderful feel to them. Bravissimo!
Jonathan Carney — Concertmaster, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
I fell in love with the bow. It does everything a bow should do — it's light, it articulates — but I truly love the sound quality.
Jaap Ter Linden — Soloist, Recording Artist, Professor
Aaron's bows are simply a work of art — beautiful to marvel at and supremely responsive to play with. I highly recommend them!
Amit Peled — Soloist, Recording Artist, Professor
Aaron's bows are not only beautiful works of craftsmanship and art, but are also excellent bows for professional musicians, with a responsive bouncing point and a solid feel throughout.
