Demetrius Constantine (D.C.) Dounis (born around 1894) is recognized to this day as one of the most significant teachers and technicians of violin and other string instruments. After establishing his genius as a violinist and virtuoso mandolinist at a young age, Dounis earned medical training in psychiatry and neurology, and then served as a doctor in the Greek army during World War I. After the war, he became a concertmaster, and later began to distill his medical training in a unique way: providing medical treatment for his fellow musicians.
