Testimonials
…I can recommend them to anyone!
“I recently saw Mike’s bows at the BVMA show at King’s Place this year. I picked up one of his bows and was hugely impressed by the way it and the other 5 or 6 bows handled. They produced a fine tone and were subtle and easy to handle. I play on a Vigneron bow which costs many times that of Mike’s bows- and the net result was surprisingly close. I consequently bought one which I’m using as a second bow.
It is exciting to experience the capability of Mike’s bows, and I can recommend them to anyone!”

…very impressive
“Thank you for completing such an admirable job on my cello bow, and so quickly too. What used to be a long-neglected ‘spare’, has now been restored to pride of place. Though I’m strictly an amateur cellist, I can hear the vast difference your meticulous rehair and maintenance has made in my progress in only a few days with the finished bow, and I’m certain that this will rapidly improve my playing. It was a fascinating experience visiting your workshop, by the way, and thank you for demonstrating the intricacies of bow-manufacture: very impressive.”
“Thank you so much for a very prompt and efficient violin service. The violin is sounding great and I appreciate your suggestions for further improvement.
Your thorough knowledge of all aspects of the violin shone through and gave me confidence that you really know what you are doing.
Thank you again and I shall certainly be recommending you to my contacts.”

“Mike has incredibly fastidious attention to detail. Both my bows have come back in superb condition, cleaned meticulously and with a really nice rehair. Plus a very difficult frog repair (too difficult for regular violin shops) carried out with the minimum of fuss.”
“Have had several bow rehairs and a repair, always excellent service. Quick turnaround and top quality work done. Thanks”
“Mike has done an excellent repair on the handle end of my violin bow and has been lovely to deal with.”
