Links to Violin & Bow Makers Homepages
This page contains a listing of links to a
continually growing number of violin and bow makers who have Homepages on the Web.
All of these fine makers are
listed out of courtesy and my respect for their work. If you are looking to
acquire a new instrument I believe you will find that my
instruments will compare favorably in both quality and price with any of the
makers listed below. If you care to explore how I may help you with a successful
instrument or are simply interested in finding out more about my work please e-mail me or visit my
