Testimonial from Levin (NZ) violin-viola-cello player
10 March, 2005.
To whom it may concern:
I am pleased to provide a testimonial to Czes and Birute Kul, professional luthiers who have set up business in Levin, New Zealand.
Since meeting them six months ago, I have had the pleasure of playing a number of their violins and violas, and a cello. These instruments are made to a very exacting standards from the highest quality materials, and are beautifully finished. They possess very fine tonal qualities which are appreciated both by the player and listeners alike. In Czes’s and Birute’s home country, Lithuania, their instruments are used extensively by professional musicians.
Four months ago, I purchased one of their violas, and I must say I am delighted with it. It has a robust carrying tone and is a delight to play.
To anyone contemplating the purchase of an instrument, whether it be professional or amateur use, I would recommend they try these instruments. Czes and Birute are craftspeople who are completely devoted to their craft and the results speak for themselves.
Yours faithfully,
Jim Tait,
LEVIN.
