About
He was a disciple of Alexandru Apăteanu (b. 1886, Dorohoi), who in turn learned the violin from Anton Uhlschmidt of Schönbach (Zdislava, Czech Republic). The font used by them was that of the Stradivarius violins, with yellow or red oil varnish.
His violins were praised by David Oistrakh for their sound, and he received medals for his works in Poznan, Liège, Cremona, and Sofia. Some of his instruments were auctioned on Tarisio Auctions.
In 2010 he was declared post-mortem a citizen of honor of Reghin, and a festival bearing his name was held in 2019
