Bow making
- Violin, viola, violoncello- and double bass bows with German Silver, silver and gold fittings
- baroque bows for violin, viola and bass
Just like the new bows, the repair of all bows for stringed instruments of the orchestra and string quartet and for soloist requirements is done in outstanding quality with artistic skill and conscientious hand-crafted methods.
After detailed consultation with the customer, special bows with particular specifications for concert musicians are individually handmade exactly as desired with respect to form, design and appearance.
