JAN MULLER-SZERAWS, (Cellist) Artist-in-Residence, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA:
“Domingos Fazio’s bows are absolutely fantastic. Over the years he has made three incredible bows for me, each exhibiting exactly the qualities I had asked for, balanced to perfection. Domingos is a genius. He connects through his astonishing mastery in bow-making deeply at a human level with his clients, a fact which leads to perfectly matched bows with their players.”
NADIR KHASHIMOV, Violin Soloist:
”The bow you made is my main bow and it suits beautifully my Jean Baptiste Vuillaume violin. I have been playing on it for over 10 years now. Throughout my career, I have tried many great bows by old French makers, but none respond or sound as well as the one made by you. Thank you!”
MARTIN OSTEN, Professor of Cello of The Ponthifical Catholic University of Chile:
”Ever since I moved to Santiago de Chile in 2009, Domingos Fazio has impressed me with his excellent craftsmanship and expertise. I have used the bow he made for me in many concerts and recordings, it has a wonderful projection and very good articulation.”
DAVID PIA, Cello Soloist: “The bow has got a big solid sound and you made it with a nice balanced weight over the whole length, responding well and easy to play. As an optical remark, I like very much the wood you were taking, shining and a bit red coloured, obviously of a very high quality.”
ANDRÉS DÍAZ, Soloist and Professor of cello at Southern Methodist University. “your bows were so expertly made and certainly the greatest modern bows I have ever played on. I use them all the time..”
SERGIO PRIETO PALACIOS, Violín Concertino de las Orquestas Sinfónica de Cataluña y Del Vallés, España. Sinfónica de Basel, Suiza y Filarmónica del Teatro Municipal de Santiago, y Sinfónica de Chile: “Arcos de un balance perfecto, muy bien terminados, con un sonido potente y muy cálido.”
JOAQUIN ARRABAL, Solista de contrabajo del Gran Teatre del Liceu y Profesor en el Conservatori Superior de música de Barcelona ““Un arco perfecto para recitales, dando colores suaves y dulces en momentos delicados y tensión y fuerza para los momentos más expresivos, con mucha consistencia en el sonido, desde el talón a la punta. Soy muy feliz con mi arco, un arco personal, único y perfecto para mis conciertos de solista.”

FREDDY VARELA MONTERO, Primer Concertino Orquesta Estable del Teatro Colón, Director Camerata Bariloche, Concertino Orquesta Sinfónica de Concepción y Solista. “Poseo un arco de Domingos Fazio y me ha cambiado la manera de tocar. Puedo lograr con poco esfuerzo cosas, que con cualquier otro arco son imposibles. Logra interpretar lo que uno quiere en cuanto a sonido y balance a la perfección. Para mi, de los mejores archetiers del mundo. Le estoy profundamente agradecido por el maravilloso arco que ocupo tanto en orquesta como también de solista. Gracias por todo.”
​
SAÚL BITRÁN, Primer violín del Cuarteto Latinoamericano, Profesor de violín de Boston Conservatory at Berklee “Mi arco Fazio me ha acompañado fielmente ya por más de veinte años, en incontables escenarios del mundo. Durante este tiempo, más por curiosidad que por otra cosa, he probado ocasionalmente otros arcos, algunos de autores mundialmente famosos y de precios exorbitantes. Invariablemente vuelvo, contento y aliviado, a mi Fazio. Me reconforta su facilidad de respuesta, su comodidad y el bello timbre que produce en mi violín.”
MARCIO CARNEIRO, (cello) Professorship of the Musikhochschule Detmold, Germany and in the Haute École de Musique de Sion, Suiza:
“Domingos Fazio is a passionate bow maker. When we first met he observed my teaching and playing 3 days long, to produce a “tailor-made” bow for me. And this bow was wonderful....”
​
HERNÁN MUÑOZ JULIO, Concertino de la Orquesta de Cámara de Chile “Mi arco es un D.Fazio. Su estupenda estructura y minuciosa confección, le otorgan la versatilidad, sonido y precisión que necesito.”
DENNIS PARKER, Haymon Professor of Cello, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge:
“A few decades ago during a visit to Santiago, I discovered that almost every prominent string player in the city was using a bow made by Domingos Fazio. After experimenting with several of them, I discovered the reasons. Each had been specifically tailored to its owner, and all possessed excellent balance, weight distribution, responsiveness warmth and spirit. Since that time, the bow that he made for me has remained my preferred and most often used.”

MARCELO GONZALEZ ECHAZÚ, Principal Second Violin Orquesta Sinfónica de Chile, Chamber Music and Solo player, Professor violin-viola Fammusic Academy: “We can talk a lot about sound, balance, response, bouncing point, quality of materials used, beauty of aesthetic...etc...However, when you connect emotionally to a piece of multiple parts of wood and horse hairs crafted by a real Master in the art, and you find your perfect match to express with it those nuances that even yourself didn't know was possible to find on your string instrument... It is the moment when you realize that magic can happen if the hands of Domingos touch this pieces of wood and transform them in this so called "Bow".. Real Art !!!
