Gold and Silver Medal Winner
Fifth International Violin-Making Competition, Pisogne, Italy
With over 100 top luthiers competing in this major juried event, Andreas Haensel's instruments were awarded the top two prizes in 2014. Coming on the heels of awards in 2010 and 2013, the world's top luthiers have taken note of Andreas Haensel.
Works of Art from the Hands of a Passionate Craftsman
Upon examination of these violins, great attention to detail and a high level of technical mastery is quickly apparent. But it is in the playing that the real value of Haensel’s violins emerges. Regardless of pattern, all his violins have a quality that makes them easy to play, delighting the hand and ear. Strong, generous tone – with layers of complexity – is the first quality that one notices in an Andreas Haensel instrument. Apply more and more bow weight, and the tone simply opens out, with great projection, yet with no overbearing qualities or harshness. Spend even more time playing, and a myriad of intangibles reveal themselves. Response is immediate, whether bowing with strong detaché or flautando.
