“I am very young and don’t have a lot of experiences with different violins yet. I myself practice with Maggini’s copy but as Lance Armstrong once said: It’s not about the bike. I will tell [you] the same: it is not about the violin – the most important [thing] is the feeling, love towards music and the attitude. I think it is [the] same with great violinists – they can play easy children’s music but you’ll hear and feel the difference and notice straight away their greatness.
I would definitely love to test different violins in the future and hold the famous Stradivarius and other masterpieces. But now all my concentration is to practice and play as well as I can. I am collaborating with my current violin, we are friends and we support each other – if you know what I mean. I have no bad words about my current violin. It is not possible to play, if you don’t like your ‘partner’ [which] is what my violin is to me. I will think about the advanced violins once there is a need.”
