Hratch Armenious was originally trained as an engineer, but his everlasting love for music and especially for musical instruments drew him to his destiny: musical instrument making. He sought training as a professional violinmaker in Moscow where he became acquainted with Alexander Krilov, an eminent master violinmaker employing the Italian method of violinmaking.

He participated and was recognized with awards at various international violin-making competitions in many countries such as Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and etc.
