About Vladimir:

Vladimir Radosavljevic was born in 1971 in Belgrade, Serbia. After studying violin for 14 years and attending the University of Music in Belgrade, he won the audition at the Teatre T as a violinist in their orchestra in 1991. In 1993, Vladimir decided to try his luck in the USA, and he left his position in the orchestra, embarking on an unpredictable journey. After arriving in the USA, he very soon met with Mr. Joe Da Cunha, from whom he got his first ideas about bow repairing. He quickly started repairing bows under the supervision of his friend Michael Gerson, a pupil of Otto Erdez, who, within a few months, introduced him to his friend and colleague Jaques Francais, for whom Vladimir occasionally does repairs and rehairs. In 1995, Vladimir began his relationship as a bow repairman with numerous other shops in New York and Connecticut. He soon started doing repairs for Mr. Brice Dupin de St Cyr for his Carnegie Hall office, as well as Constantin Popesku of Connecticut.

It was at this time that Vladimir made his first attempts at bow making. In 1998, Vladimir was introduced to Mr. Carlos Martins Del Picchia, who studied bow making at Bein and Fushi of Chicago and Clair Givens Violins of Minneapolis, under the supervision of Mr. Andrew Dipper. Carlos Del Picchia and Vladimir soon decided to open a business in Brazil, where, under the daily supervision of a master bow maker, Vladimir made his first bows. From this time on, he often went to New York to present his bows and spent much time learning about bow making and the characteristics of great bow makers from the leading world expert and bow maker Isaac Salchow, a collaboration he maintains to this very day. Vladimir also keeps a close relationship with the great violin and bow maker Mr. Christophe Landon, whose influence has greatly helped Vladimir's art. Early on, Vladimir built a collection of important and rare French bows, such as F.X. Tourte, Persois, Dominique Peccatte, Pierre Simon, and Nicolas Maline, Pajeot and others, many of which he still owns today. Collecting and studying these bows has greatly influenced and inspired Vladimir's work.

In 2006, Vladimir moved back to the USA. This was due to many orders and constant demands for his work, which became difficult to satisfy from Brazil. He brought with him his choosiest wood, and from this time on, all of his bows made are from only the best quality pernambuco wood in existence. Upon his arrival in the USA, he met violinist/violist Mr. Eric Shumsky, son of legendary violinist and teacher Oskar Shumsky. Eric introduced Vladimir to the elite of players, many of whom acquired bows made by him. Very soon, he met with David Krieger, who is the owner of the Summit Music Festival, and Vladimir got involved in helping young musicians with scholarships and financial support. Mr. Krieger now owns a considerable collection of Vladimir's bows. In the same year, he opened the business in his hometown, Belgrade. This was due to a large from Belgrade Philharmonic to make bows for the orchestra, as well as an order from Radio Orchestra of Belgrade to make bows for the entire orchestra. From this time on countless numbers of great players throughout the world has acquired and now play on bows by V.Radosavljevic. Vladimir bows are presented and sold through his exclusive representative Mr.Philip Greenberg (world renown conductor and expert ),in agreements with Mr.Sarn Oliver (first violin section of San Francisco Symphony)and Aaron Reiley of Guarneri House. Today, Vladimir Radosavljevic makes bows in Savannah GA USA and also in Belgrade.
