The sound you dream of.
A breath before the first note. The hall falls silent. What you wish to express finds a voice.
Fine Violins.
A violin for your sound
Perhaps you are looking for warmth in the quietest notes. Perhaps a voice that carries within an ensemble.

Or an instrument whose sound opens up new musical ideas.
What matters in choosing a violin is what matters to you when you play. Enquire about the current availability of Boris Sudakov's violins and discuss your wishes personally.
Listen for what moves you.
A recording offers a first impression. How an instrument feels under your bow is a personal experience. Tell us what you are looking for in your sound.
Look a little closer.
The arching in the light. The figure of the wood. The meeting of varnish and edge. Looking, too, can be the beginning of a connection with an instrument.
When your wish is the beginning
You have an idea of your next instrument. Perhaps you can already describe it precisely. Perhaps it begins with a sound you cannot forget.
For a commission, your musical wishes are discussed with Boris Sudakov. What can take shape from them is agreed for your individual project.

At the Geigen Camp, you follow the making of the violin you have commissioned. A workshop container is transported to your location. Boris Sudakov works on your instrument inside it during a stay of two or four weeks, with all materials and tools. One to two hours of direct collaboration are planned daily or every other day, as agreed.
From July 2027, a Camp at our workshop is also planned for two or four weeks, depending on the package.
