I am an instrument bow maker based in Lincoln, UK, making, repairing and rehairing fine bows for discerning players.

Bow Making

Violin, viola and cello bows are handcrafted in the French style after esteemed makers such as Dominique Peccatte, François Xavier Tourte and Eugène Sartory, attempting to recreate their unique playing characteristics. Top quality materials are chosen to result in a bow that gives a wide range of tone colour.

Bow Repairs

I am able to revive your cherished bows to their former glory with expert restoration techniques. Damaged, worn or missing parts may be repaired or replaced in order to keep the bow in optimum playing condition. The ethics of restoration are rigorously followed to ensure the bow remains as authentic as possible.

Rehairs and Maintenance

Professional rehairing service to ensure optimal performance from your violin, viola, cello and bass bows. Rehairs are carried out sensitively using the best quality horsehair. Prior to rehairing, I will inspect the bow thoroughly and advise on any maintenance or repairs needed.
