What People Are Saying:
Anne-Sophie Beranger - Violinist
“I definitely recommend Ruschil & Bailly's workshop. Best sound adjustment my violin ever received! I am glad to be able to trust in them for future works and adjustments!”
Mathilde Milwidsky - Violinist
“Antoni is the no 1 luthier I go to in London and I again can’t recommend him more highly. He has a fantastic ear for sound adjustment and I trust him with my violin wholeheartedly.”
Julian Metzger - Cellist
“It was a huge pleasure meeting Antoni, who listened to my concerns regarding the set-up and sound of my cello. He knew exactly what he needed to do in order to achieve the desired result. He did so with care and attention, giving me the time to assess each change made to the instrument. Clearly Antoni is an extremely talented luthier and I would recommend him without hesitation.”
Leona Gogolicynová - Violinist
“Antoni has provided an excellent service and was very willing to help me to find the right sound for my violin. The instrument has opened up and I have been enjoying practising since then much more! Highly recommend!”
Abi Hyde-Smith - Cellist
“Antoni is so skilled and a real genius when it comes to sound and instrument set up. Antoni made me a gorgeous new cello bridge and then spent lots of time with me experimenting with the soundpost to make sure I was getting the most out of my cello. It sounds like a completely different cello as a result of this. Antoni worked so fast in order to make sure I was able to get my cello back when I needed it too. He is so kind, friendly, professional and generous.”
James Douglas - Cellist
“I came in to see Antoni for some sound adjustment of my 2012 Julien Bachellier cello. I couldn’t be happier with the colour and depth of tone that we found. Great work!”
Ben Tarlton - Cellist
“Antoni has a wonderful ear and feel for getting instruments to work at their best and also to tailor them to individual players. I very much enjoyed working with him and recommend him without hesitation.”
