Everyone scoffed at the sheer audacity of violins being made in India. As far as they were concerned, it was an instrument of western music, and there were places in the world better suited to making such an instrument.

This was the exact response I got from a storeowner, who is also a renowned musician, when I visited their store to promote violins made in India. Another storeowner laughed in my face when I proposed that she sell violins made in India. I was aghast that they thought so lowly about a country that is known for its music and culture. I decided to show them how capable we are in producing violins of top quality – I picked up the violin and began to play it.

She listened to me play, mesmerized by the quality of its sound. Then she took the violin form me and began to play it herself. It was apparent she had changed her views on a violin ‘made in India’. Soon she invited all of her students to try it and they all played it, one by one. One of the teacher’s commented, “It sounds better than my violin.” That was a proud moment for me; they not only liked the product, but it had changed their view about quality musical instruments being made in our country. It wasn’t long before we got an order from them. Meanwhile, stores from all over India also began stocking our product.

It is a euphoric feeling to create quality products that are appreciated by musicians, not only in India, but also around the world. It is a humbling and gratifying feeling when a reputed Indian newspaper, “Economic Times”, recognizes our work and featured us in the article displayed above. It gives us immense pleasure to bring you happiness with our instruments. And in your happiness, is ours.

In India, one of the biggest challenges is to make budding musicians aware of the importance of using a great instrument that makes it possible to play great music.
