 Alexander Anistratov wishes to extend his heartfelt thanks to the remarkable individuals who have shaped his journey into the world of musical instruments. Many among them became his mentors, teachers, and guiding lights — generously sharing their craft, wisdom, and spirit

Though some of these extraordinary makers and musicians are no longer with us, their presence is felt each day in Alexander’s workshop. Their influence endures — in the sound of every pipe, in the curve of every flute, and in the quiet discipline of the craft they so nobly embodied.

This page stands in tribute to those who not only taught him how to make instruments, but also how to listen — to wood, to tone, and to tradition.
