“I cannot tell you what a wonderful surprise it was to see your excellent workmanship, to recognize your fine hand with a knife, and to hear the mellow sound and feel the playing ease of the instrument.”

“…beautiful and excellent workmanship, the instruments are a nice surprise for musicians that are used to playing on Italian masterpieces. These instruments have a typical Italian character and at the same time each one has its own originality. Bravo!”

“The quickest sale of a violin I ever witnessed was certainly for good reason. The instrument, by Hermann Janzen, defied anything modern either in appearance or sound. My sincere congratulations for creating a great fiddle!”
