About MyLuthier

How do you choose your baroque bows?

We travel the world in order to hand-pick the finest bows we can find. We particularly focus on contemporary Italian bow makers as Italy is still the world's hub in violin making. Everything we have chosen and brought back to our showroom is selected based on sound, playability and craftsmanship. This means that all of our bows are rigorously tested and approached from a musician’s perspective.

Without a doubt, contemporary bows are one of the best options for today’s musicians.

Which makers do you work with?

Our Classical & Baroque Bow Makers

What are the benefits of a contemporary bow?

High-quality contemporary baroque & bows offer many benefits over antiques.
They are in perfect condition, so there is no need for restoration work. They are also easier to maintain, cheaper to insure and more reliable across different climates and storage conditions.

Additionally, there are many benefits to having a relationship with a living maker - from lifetime maintenance to guaranteed authenticity. This is important, as it ensures the quality of the instrument and protects your investment.

Many musicians are choosing to play on new bows these days and support today's violin bow-making. Not only for their comparatively lower cost but also for the opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of history! For this reason, new instruments from the best living bow makers are increasingly well-known throughout the world.

Played on by young soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral players, it’s this versatility that is making them universally liked among musicians and collectors.

Do you offer an authenticity guarantee?

When buying a bow, it is important to remember that you are buying more than just an instrument. You are buying a piece of violin making history that can appreciate in value over time.

We at MyLuthier are so confident in the quality of our instruments that we offer a lifetime authenticity guarantee on all new violin, viola and cello bows. So if you ever have any problems with your bow, simply contact us and we will take care of it for you.
We want to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase!
