Solo Classic Inc.

Roumen Raykovski is not alone at Solo Classic Inc., his new store in Buffalo Grove. Raykovski is joined by his wife, Dani, and their daughter, Iliana, in operating the business, which makes and sells string instruments. The Raykovskis opened the business -- the only music shop in the Buffalo Grove area with a professional violin-maker on staff at 476 W. Half Day Road in the Woodland Commons shopping center. While Roumen spends much of his time creating instruments from scratch, Dani handles most business affairs. Iliana chips in answering phones and assisting customers. Raykovski and his family came to the United States from Bulgaria and moved from the Des Plaines area to Buffalo Grove. Violin making started as a hobby for Raykovski, who has always found enjoyment in woodworking. Raykovski has been an active member of the Violin Society of America. Raykovski follows the traditional Italian style of violin making and doesn't use any power tools during construction. Everything is handmade with hand tools, and it takes about a month to complete a violin, depending on its quality and style.
