We have compiled this list of modern violin, viola, cello and bass bow makers as a hopefully useful resource. This list is not all inclusive, if you have a suggestion for us to add, please contact our webmaster.
Over the years many people that have acquired my violins have found that Lee Guthrie's bows work well with my instruments, although this is not intended as an endorsement.

I always recommend that musicians find their violin prior to their bow as each violin will likely respond differently to the same bow.
