Milan's Workshop
Milan spends most of his days in his workshop actually working; either crafting, repairing, or teaching. Don't mind the dust, it's all part of the unique workplace setting. You will see rare and worn tools that have been used over the years to create some of the most beautiful musical instruments ever made. As you look around, every inch of wall and table space is covered with historical photos, posters, or memorabilia. If the walls could talk, they would tell stories of many visitors who have made their way to catch a glimpse of the man in his glory doing the work he loves. Milan's passion for tamburitza music lives in his heart, as well as his commitment to keeping the tradition alive.
