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!!

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.


Katrina Pearce was first place winner of the Grand Master Fiddler Championship, Oct. 5-6, 2007 in Nashville, TN.
 
She says of Bob's fiddle:
 "I love the fiddle!!!  It's very open, even playing & has a big voice!"


from Jan Grover Monday, 4 March '02:
 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-
