About the Rezvani Brothers

Rezvani-Brothers Born and raised in Tehran, Shahram and Saeid Rezvani were introduced to the world of music at an early age. Even though they both possessed a great love and deep respect for classical music, the Rezvani brothers chose to pursue formal educations in fields not relevant to music. After Shahram obtained a degree in the mathematics and Saeid got his degree in graphic arts, they both felt that their love and passion for music was too strong for them to be able to leave behind. Once they decided to follow their calling, they became attracted to the craft of violin making.

Shahram first began his studies of instrument making in 1990 under the direction of Massoud Pournadji. Wanting to learn the secrets of the craft, Saeid quickly followed suit. As a result, the two brothers dedicated their lives to learning and mastering the art of instrument making and restoration under the supervision of some of the best and well known violin makers, such as Maestro Ibrahim Ghambari Mehr and Maestro Johann Rombach in Vienna Austria.

With over 30 years of experience between them, the Rezvani brothers have secured a successful reputation in Iran as master luthiers. More than 500 of their masterpieces are owned by well renowned soloists and orchestral musicians all over the world who are members of music conservatories, teachers in universities and performers in various philharmonic and symphony orchestras.

Since early 2010 Rezvani Violins has relocated to the United States and is now situated in Westlake Village, California, where they have built their own shop and continue to focus on making concert violins, violas, and cellos, as well as offer the best in sales, repairs and restorations of string instruments and bows.

It is the best violin I’ve ever had.

I have been playing on my Rezvani violin since November 2013, it is the best violin I’ve ever had. From the first moment I played it I felt that it has all of the warmth and colors that I search for. Recently I was selected to compete in the 2015 Singapore International Violin Competition using this violin. I am very happy to be able to play on such an amazing instrument.

Marvelous Luthiers

Shahram and Saeid Rezvani are marvelous luthiers. They breathe the air to make instruments and it is as if their hearts and souls are in each and every violin and viola they create. I am the proud owner of two of their wonderful violins. With their instruments one can produce a deep, sweet and ringing tone. In addition their instruments are easy to play. I feel very privileged to personally know such artists.

Fine blend

I have played on a Shahram and Saeid Rezvani violin for the duration of my professional career. I find that my instrument has a fine blend of projection, tone quality and responsiveness and recommend that anybody looking for a reasonably priced instrument consider trying a Rezvani brothers violin.

World class violin makers

The Rezvani brothers are not only world class violin makers but also outstanding people. Their instruments sound antique and priceless and are incredibly comfortable and satisfying to play. The Rezvanis are very humble, dedicated and do everything they can to work with the customer. I absolutely love my violin. It is very powerful, silky, smooth, warm, and sounds better and better every month.

This violin has a beautiful singing voice!

I have a 2002 Rezvani violin. I discovered it from my local violin shop, and I found out about and contacted the maker after searching the label on the internet. The Rezvani brothers kindly answered my questions about the type and age of the wood. Most importantly, this violin has a beautiful singing voice! The projection is amazing - both broad and sweet, and it has a great balance between brightness and depth across all four strings. it has brought much joy to my practicing in the short month I've owned it, and I'm continuing to improve my technique to bring out more of its potential.

Thank you for the stellar violin!

In 2007 I bought my violin from you and when I purchased it you told me that I will realize how great the instrument truly is. I just wanted to tell you that last year I got accepted into the Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music in the Ukraine and I am continuing my studies of the violin here, so I wanted to thank you for the stellar violin you provided.
