Violin by Martin Schleske, Opus 70 anno 2005:
Description of the Violin: Model Antonio Stradivari 1715
Dedication of the Violin:
“Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves” (Psalm 127,1-2).
"I feel like your Opus 70 is gaining new tonal colors every day. It is exciting to keep making new discoveries on this instrument. It is hard to put down. At the same time, I find it difficult to find words to sufficiently praise it."
