"... During my search for perfection I became acquainted with the big schools of ancient violin makers. I had played instruments made by Francesco Ruggieri, Mateo Goffrieller, David Tecchler, Gennaro and Nicolo Gagliano. At the moment I play a cello made by Yair Hod Fainas, because in this instrument I found something magical that I had never felt before... D. Maslennikov " Durant ma carrière de violoncelliste, je cherchais un instrument pouvant satisfaire mes attentes sur le plan sonore, artistique et spirituel. Pendant la quête de cette perfection j'étais en rapport avec beaucoup de grandes écoles de lutherie ancienne. J'ai joué des instruments fabriqués par Francesco Ruggieri, Mateo Goffrieller, David Tecchler, Gennaro et Nicolo Gagliano. Actuellement je joue un violoncelle de Yair Hod Fainas car, dans cet instrument, j'ai trouvé une magie que je n'ai jamais ressenti auparavant. Ce violoncelle est construit avec une telle science et amour que mise à part sa merveilleuse sonorité, il est capable de transmettre au public une palette de sentiments élevés.
