These are made from carefully chosen Pernambuco wood blanks and the bow sticks are entirely crafted by me. The fittings used are silver wire/leather lappings and commercially made frogs, ebony with nickel mounts.
The vital ingredient of a good bow is the quality of the stick. Its weight, balance and especially stiffness all contribute to the playing qualities.
My bows are a blend of modest cost with good performance. I find they sell very quickly so I may not always have one available.
Prices £300-£400.
