I have worked professionally as a luthier and archetier since 2018, specializing in the making, repair and restoration of bows of the violin family. I aim to provide honest and quality service with every customer. I work closely with other makers and shops to provide comprehensive service to the Southern Oregon area.
I am located in Grants Pass, Oregon and operate by appointment only. Please contact me if you wish to setup an appointment.
My goal is to provide you with all of the services you need and none of the ones you don't. I evaluate each bow individually and asses the work required. Please see below for a price list of general repairs. Advanced repairs will always require an evaluation for a quote!
In addition to repairing and restoring bows, I also handcraft fine violin, viola and cello bows in the French method utilizing the highest quality pernambuco, ebony, precious metals and mother of pearl.
See the gallery below for some examples of my work on bows — as well as instruments and instrument photography.
