    Минчо - Минчев (Болгария), солист, профессор музыкальной академии в Эссене
    Не так легко найти скрипку, при помощи которой можно осуществить свои желания.
   В процессе создания таких инструментов г-н Багинский достиг выдающихся    успехов.С удовольствием посмотрел и испробовал его инструмент и это заставляет меня верить,что качества, которыми обладает скрипка сделают счастливым любого музыканта! От всего сердца желаю, чтобы в будущем эти инструменты стали желанными и нашли применение во всем мире!

Mincho Minchev-Bulgaria, soloist, professor of the Musical Academy in Essen, Germany : "It is not so easy to find a violin, on which you can realise your artistic wishes. In the process of creation of such instruments, sir V.Baginsky has got great successes.

I have seen and played on his violin and I believe that the quality of his violin will make any violinist happy! From the bottom of my heart I wish, in the future these violins to be desired and find their place in the whole world!"

One mail from Audust 2007:
Hello Mr Baginsky,
This is Popi who had bought a violin from you,I want to tell you now that I am well satisfied from the violin,some arrangements of the sound I made since,I had changed the bridge also,anyway it has a very good and easy response sound.I was in a summer course in july and my violin (your's) was sounded the best,even comparing to an original Amati!!(a teacher from Amsderdam's conservatory had Amati),he played with my violin he told that it has very fast response.... So these are my impressions for it;I would may write for you my comments in your web-site....so let me know how... ... shall put a photo and a comment below,like as it sounds better than a real Amati violin... .(A Holland violinist had un Amati in a music course..)

Так держать, хорошая работа. Скрипка звучит совершенно во всех регистрах и хорошо несет звук в зал.
Victor Kuzikov, concertmaster, and Hobart Earle, principal conductor & music director of The Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra, Ukraine:"Keep up, the good work! The violin sounds quite even throughout the registers and carries well into the hall".

Jerome E Drupiewski, Sunday Strings Chamber Ensemble, Pueblo, CO, USA

"Vladislav Bagunsky's violin is a true work of art. his instrument is equal to violins costing much

more and it's modest price is a blessing. The careful craftsmanship is exemplifyed by the beautifully
turned scroll and the back, which shimmers like satin in the light. Violin projects easily in a large hall, but is also capable of subtle nuances in a small setting. It has excellent response and from Forte to Pianissimo, it is a delight to play. It is truly a concert instrument and will meet the demands of any discerning musician. I am extremely pleased with this instrument in every respect".9 (January 2003year)

"I had the pleasure of trying another of Dr. Baginsky's violins, this one made in 1997.
The first thing one notices about Dr. Baginsky's instruments is the flawless finish and the impeccable workmanship. The scroll is beautifully done and the f-holes are excellent. As with his other instruments the varnish has a deep satin-like quality that is a pleasure to behold. Although the instrument is dark red in color, the tone is "golden." It has the mellow resonant tonal qualities of some older Italian instruments and and plays effortlessly. It is a pleasure to play and an excellent instrument for player or collector". (August 2003)

MARIA LUCIA Z. KRUG (SAO PAULO, Бразилия)- Солист и "первая скрипка" симфонического оркестра: "Скрипка Владислава - большой шедевр музыки, имеет ровный и в то же время чистый звук. Когда скрипка обыграется, звук будет еще великолепней."

HALINA JANECHZEK MONTEIRO- Ученица, (Бразилия): "Я так счастлива вашей скрипкой, что могла бы написать три, даже четыре страницы о этом."
В.Ойберман -народный мастер СССР
Скрипки В.Багинского хорошо акустически построены, звук легко извлекаем. Весь инструмент звучит ровно, несет хорошо звук в зал. Мне особенно понравилось, что басок на скрипке "Память Амати" хорошо выдерживает любой нажим смычка даже в самых высоких позициях.

Maria Lucia Z. Krug ,Sao Paulo, Brazil- Soloist and the "first violin" of Chamber Piracicaba Orchestra: "The Vladislav's violin is a great masterpiece of music and, it has a smoothly sound and, at the same time, a clear one. The more the violin is played, more beautifull the sound will be."

Halina Janechzek Monteiro- Pupil, Brazil: "I'm so happy with your violin that I could write three, or even four pages about it."

С .Тесман - концертмейстер Одесского Театра Оперы и Балета.

Скрипки В.Багинского обладают ярким , контрастным звучанием. Особенно характерно для них- плотный, концентрированный , звук в верхних регистрах каждой струны. Скрипки имеют широкий диапазон тембровых красок- от грудных, альтовых на струне ╚G╩ , до серебристых, певучих оттенков в верхних регистрах, звучание ровное на всех струнах. Все это способствует желанию играть на этих скрипках, делает игру легким и приятным занятием для каждого скрипача.

S. Tesman - Concertmaster of The Odessa Opera and Ballet Theatre, Ukraine: " V.Baginsky's violin have bright, contrast sounding, the sound is easily extracted, sounding equal on all strings. Especially characteristic of them, the concentrated sound in upper cases of each string. Violins have a broad band of colours: from deep of sounding on "G" - up to silvery nuances in upper cases of a string "E". All this promotes desire to play on such violins, it makes a game easy and pleasant occupation for each violinist."

В.Рынкевич- скрипач , руководитель камерного ансамбля "Доминант"

Скрипки В. Багинского привлекают качеством, характерным для инструментов высокого класса: ясностью и наполненностью тембра. В то же время, каждый инструмент подкупает своей индивидуальностью. Например, скрипка "Желание" изготовленная в 1995 году отличается какой-то перламутровой мистичностью в звуке и вызывает образы импрессионизма.

Calvin Shaw, Dalton, Georgia, USA- First Violinist in L'Abri String Ensemble:

" I have been very pleased with the workmanship and the tonal quality of my new Baginsky Violin. As a matter of fact, I tried several violins before deciding to buy the one you made. In each case, your instrument was superior in both workmanship and tonal quality.

I am thoroughly enjoying the instrument and appreciate the care and craftsmanship that went into providing me the joy that it does. I currently am playing 1st violin in a small string orchestra of around 31 players. Several of our members have recently purchased new instruments, and all of them are very impressed with mine. Thank you for the hard work and effort that goes into your instruments. I am sure that mine will provide me years of enjoyment."

Dave Kline, violinist, Washington DC, USA : "I enjoyed playing your violin, which I had the pleasure of comparing with several others, including italian and american made violins, from highly reputable makers. Your violin compared very favorably, even though it is very new and has yet to season with age".

Vladimir Oiberman - The National Foreman of the USSR, Russia:
"V.Baginsky's violin are well acoustically made the sound is easily extracted. The violin sounds equally, and has good sounds in a hall. It is especially pleasant to me, that string "G", on the " Amati's memory" violin withstands pressing of a bow well, even in the highest positions."
