"I have known Igor Gersh for many years now, and his universal talent never ceased to amaze me. In addition to being a wonderful musician in his own right, his skills as a luthier, as well as the maker of string instruments and bows, are truly astonishing. He understands the intricacies of bow rehair and the instrument adjustment in a way that very few are capable of, and his work is flawless.”

"I only use Igor Gersh for my bow rehair/repair needs and I tell anyone that needs bow work about Igor. He is extremely honest and fair. He is also such a joy to do business with because of his friendly personality and expert knowledge. You can depend on First class quality workmanship with every job he does!.”

"I have known Igor and his bow work for a number of years. Every rehair Igor has done for me has always been of the highest caliber. The hair quality is fantastic and his workmanship is second to none. Every bow comes back beautifully polished, looking and playing better than ever. His work on violin, viola, and cello bows is equally fine, and I recommend Igor to all of my colleagues, and to my students. .”

"I consider Igor to be a luthier of multifaceted and exceptional talent. Over the years I trusted my best instruments and bows to his care with consistently great results. I trust his judgement and recommend him without reservation."

Igor Gersh is one of the finest luthiers I have ever been privileged to work with. He works with astonishing precision and efficiency, is always punctual, uses materials of the highest quality, and stands but the results of his work.
