Historically Informed Violins
Professional violins created by Dmitry Badiarov through a harmony-first method, where musical relationships are resolved as proportion before becoming measurements, response, and voice.
The model names are not decorative. Each begins from a specific musical theme translated into proportion, response, and form.
