About MeЗа мен

I was born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and graduated the Stringed Instruments Making department of the Technical School for Wood Crafting and Interior Design in Plovdiv in 1987.Роден съм в Пловдив, България, и завършвам специалност „Изработване на струнни инструменти“ в Техникума по дървообработване и интериорен дизайн в Пловдив през 1987 г.

I make violins and violas and repair instruments of the violin family and their bows. Also repair classical guitars.Изработвам цигулки и виоли, ремонтирам инструменти от цигулковото семейство и техните лъкове. Ремонтирам и класически китари.

After certain period of working in a violin making factory I found that there is nothing creative in exact replication of the old maker's instruments. Now having my own workshop I am working on improvement of my own style, combining my personal point of view on the acoustical and aesthetical aspects and some details inspired by the old Italian violin makers.След известен период на работа във фабрика за цигулки установих, че в точното копиране на инструментите на старите майстори няма нищо творческо. Сега, със собствена работилница, развивам собствения си стил, съчетавайки личната си гледна точка за акустичните и естетическите аспекти с детайли, вдъхновени от старите италиански майстори.

My instruments are made of well naturally seasoned spruce and maple from the Balkans and Alps mountains, varnished mainly with spirit varnishes.Инструментите ми са изработени от добре, естествено сушени смърч и клен от Балканите и Алпите, лакирани предимно със спиртен лак.

R.C. MacDonald

Concertmaster, Fredericton Chamber Orchestra; Violist, Symphony New Brunswick, Canada
“I am very happy to own two Demirdjian violas, one of 408 mm and another of 420 mm. Both are fine, responsive instruments which I have used in orchestral work and in chamber music. Stepan's craftsmanship is of the highest order, they are also beautiful to look at. Stepan is a delight to work with, even by email at long distance, and he does his best to fulfill all his clients' wishes.”

Abigail Beutler

Violist, Nashua Chamber Orchestra, Nashua, New Hampshire, USA
“I am very pleased with the viola that you made for me. There are currently four other violists, who all love the tone quality and lovely sounds that my viola makes. The wait was not excessive for a hand-made instrument, and it arrived in excellent condition. It is a beautiful instrument! I am pleased to recommend you to anyone who wants a superior instrument at a very reasonable price.”

Tommy Kuo

Violinist, Redwood Symphony Orchestra, Redwood City, California
“Stepan — your 2002 Del Gesu copy easily matches if not outright best violins. In the 6 years that I have been playing it, it has opened up. As a new violin, it sounds ‘new’ to the player and to anybody 5–10 feet away, but from 20 feet or more away, it takes on another character. It becomes big, wide, and dark, and very smooth.”

Jim Del Duca

Bozeman, Montana
“Over the years I have commissioned three instruments from Stepan, two violins and a viola. I have been very pleased with each of them. They sound wonderful and the workmanship is excellent. Despite the many miles between Plovdiv and the USA, Stepan is great to deal with. I do not hesitate to give him my high recommendation.”
