Emilio studied  J. F. Raffin in one of the world’s bow making capitals, Paris. However, he always made it his mission to return to Cremona and bring that level of bow making back home. Along with his son, his bows have some very strong characteristics. They are well balanced and have a crisp and clear sound. This helps bring out the best out of string instruments. Their playability allows the player far more freedom to dig into the string, explore contact points and achieve depth of sound all while maintaining the control required from an exceptional bow.
