In fact ,this is not a band because it is composed only by myself.I,as a violinist establish this website mainly because I want to communicate with each other from all over the world through music. I will upload some pieces played by myself at times,and expect to get the sincere advice from friends. I really cannot imagine my life without music at the centre.I always thank God for giving me this gift,and I believe that it carries with it the responsibility to use it generously. Now my violin was made in Czechoslovakia 1951,it's a copy of Stradivarian violin.
