Rehairing
I rehair violin, viola, cello and double bass bows using only the finest, ethically sourced horsehair. Each rehair is carried out with the technique developed through my training at Merton College and continuously refined through BVMA study, bringing new life and response to your bow.
Bow Repair
For bows that need more than a rehair, I offer careful restoration of faces, lappings and thumb leathers. Every repair is approached with respect for the bow's individual character, with the aim of returning it to full playability without compromising its integrity.
Bow Sales & Sourcing
Looking for a new bow? I can help you find the right instrument for your playing and budget, from quality modern bows to sought-after antiques. Drawing on my training and BVMA connections, I can advise, source and recommend.
Condition Assessment
Not sure what your bow needs? I'll assess its condition, discuss your requirements and give you an honest, clear recommendation with no obligation to proceed. Straightforward communication at every stage.
