As Tim Ingles said when looking at these internal photographs ’not much time wasted in the Gagliano shop

Colleague narrowly misses out on the Lady Blunt Stradivarius

Over the years Peter Hembrough Bows has acted in an advisory capacity when customers are searching for the ideal instrument or bow.

My friend and colleague asked for such help many years ago when buying a Gold and Tortoiseshell Voirin that was one of Yehudi Menuhin‘s main playing bows. Although understandably disappointed.

Knowing Andrew’s playing I feel he would be more suited to a member of the Guarneri or Amati family.
