Jonah Sirota and Julie Yoon of the Chiara Quartet play and comment on a Wenzel Violin from Liam Bailey (of Rodney Atkins' Band): Hey Bob - thanks for dropping a line! My Wenzel is my main fiddle these days and I love it; not only is it a beautiful, great sounding instrument, but it's sturdy and reliable, so I'm comfortable bringing it on the road (where danger often lurks) :) Thank you for your fine instruments!! to see and hear more: http://www.rodneyatkins.com/main/ http://www.myspace.com/rodneyatkins from Kurt Mueller: Dear Bob, Thank
you for working on my violin. It's a long journey from the
cobbled streets of pre-World-War-One Prague to the north woods lanes of
Warroad....with all the stops in between. I like the
story. I am glad that little violin could have some new life
breathed into it and I am glad that such an interesting and dedicated
man found the time to do it. There's a good chance that
instrument will still be making people happy another hundred years from
now.

"I
love the fiddle!!! It's very open, even playing & has
a big voice!"

Dear
Bob Wenzel,
Two
weeks ago I bought one of your 1999 violins through a trade-in of my
student cello. I want you to know what pleasure I'm finding
in playing that beautiful instrument. It's been my wish to
own one of your violins for some time - a hand-crafted violin made in
northern Minnesota - and now I do!
The
instrument has a very even sound, and it's so much easier to play than
my student violin. Its tone is pearl- like & round.
I
hope you receive lots of fan letters from people who play your
violins. You're putting a lot of loveliness out in the world.
from Mary D.: Robert-
I
love my cello!!! This cello gives me great joy &
slowly it's becoming a part of me. I treasure it-
