David Burgess
David Burgess has won more violin making contests of truly international scope, won them more consistently, and won them against a greater number of competitors than not only any living violin maker, but any violin maker in history! Never before has a maker, during his lifetime, established such a large body of expert consensus about the tonal, artistic and functional merit of his instruments.
He has been designated "hors concours" by both the Violin Society of America and the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers, meaning that he is no longer allowed to compete in their violin making contests by virtue of acknowledged excellence.
Was the first American to win the "Stradivari" International Instrument Making Competition in Cremona, Italy, commonly known as the "Cremona" competition.
Subsequently served as a judge at the Cremona Violin Making Competition.
Served as a judge several times for the Violin Society of America International Violin Making Competitions.
Served as a judge for the China International Violin Making Competition in Beijing.
Served as a judge for the Moscow Competition.
Instrument in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.
