Specialties
I am a bow maker, specializing in making professional playing bows that are affordable and enhance the sound of any instrument. The main focus of my shop is making new bows, restoring old bows, and rehairing all bows. I also sell vintage bows in price ranges from $400 to over $10,000 and vintage violins beginning at $2500. I have over 30 years experience, and offer expert bow repair and restoration services. Some of the repairs I perform include: rehairing, tip replacement, grip replacement, recambering, pearl replacement, screwhole bushing, frog repairs, and any other service that bows require. I am located in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, about a one hour's drive from the Washington DC and Baltimore metro areas, but have clients all over the USA. I have many out-of-state clients that have purchased bows, as well as those that ship their bows to me for rehairing and repair. Please call for an in-shop appointment, or to make arrangements to try bows for an evaluation period.
