Dominik Wlk is a rising star in modern violin making, known for instruments that combine sculptural beauty with exceptional tonal depth. Trained at the Mittenwald School and awarded a German Master Craftsman Gold Medal, he went on to work exclusively with Stefan-Peter Greiner and lead the workshop at W.E. Hill & Sons in London.
Inspired by the forms and colours of nature, Dominik approaches violin making with the eye of a sculptor, developing his own model recognised for its elegance, power, and responsiveness. His instruments are now sought after by soloists, orchestral leaders, and collectors worldwide, praised for their rich tonal palette, balance, and effortless playability.
A masterpiece by the very talented Dominik Wlk. It is the first time we have worked together and we are very impressed with the result. This violin is Dominik's own model, which he has continuously refined over the years. He only works on this model so his knowledge of it is very deep and intricate. The antiquing is refined and pure and the character comes across very nicely. Sound wise, it possesses tremendous power, but with a warmth and roundness which is very captivating to both the listener and player. Every note has resonance and focus and the change in registers feels seamless, making this one of the most balanced violins I have played recently. Overall, an absolute must-try instrument!
