“While Attending a concert given by Elmar Oliveira at Lincoln Center, I was very impressed with his tone. I asked Elmar if he was playing on a different Del Gesu, and he said no, it was a John Young. A few months later I received my John Young violin and have been happily switching between it and my Strad ever since.” Robert Mann, Founding member of the Julliard Quartet.
