In 1992, New York violinmaker Brian Skarstad and I developed the Skarstad/Moroz model. We devised a set of specifications with which to produce a superior quality affordable violin, starting with imported partly-completed unvarnished instruments. The completion process in our shop involves considerable work, including precisely finishing the graduations, fitting the bassbar, setting the neck, and applying a fine oil varnish. We combine distinctive workmanship with quality materials to produce a truly fine violin for the dedicated student or serious amateur.
