incredible works of art from a woman maker in a male dominated field

What I like about the violins modeled after the Cannone is the power and the dark sonorous notes of the lower range and the sweet, mellow, round tones of the upper range; never shrill.

They are both incredible works of art.

I appreciate you mentioning the Stankov but I would like to support a woman in a male dominated field. It doesn't hurt her [Moneff's] violins are achingly beautiful. :)

I've retired from software engineering and I always felt for the women I worked with often times being undervalued by male managers. I worked with one very gifted software engineer and I can remember her frustration in meetings when she would answer a manager's question and the manager would look to me to corroborate when she had far more expertise in the specific problem.

Thank you SO much for the warm welcome of your speedy reply and the wonderful photos.
