Over the years I have participated at some instrument making competitions. It has been a great way to compare my work to the one of the colleagues and to meet many other makers and musicians that helped me in the improvement of my craft. I have had the pleasure of receiving many awards at these competitions, however, the biggest award has always been to be able to build an instrument that make the musician customer happy when they play. This is a list of awards I received.
