“On his website, Peter Hembrough writes that he’s open to financing options so that players on a budget can afford fine violin bows. He means it.
I approached Mr Hembrough to purchase a Tubbs violin bow, and he could not have been more kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure buying from Mr Hembrough and I could not be more pleased with my purchase!”

"I bought a circa 1860 Dominique Peccatte bow from Peter Hembrough Bows - a uniquely pleasant experience. Not only is the bow absolutely astonishing and a marvel to play, but Peter proved to be very kind, reliable in interaction and professional during the whole process. I have the utmost respect for his knowledge, his candour and his genuine interest in the satisfaction of his clients. I can recommend his firm wholeheartedly to anyone in love with great bows."

I first bought a bow from Peter, astonished by his body of knowledge, his patience when advising and his huge experience. I was so happy with this first bow that, two years later, I bought a marvellous and fine second one from his collection. Nowadays, some of my friends and pupils have one of Peter’s bows … and I only can recommend you to buy a bow from Peter Hembrough Bows

Misza is fortunate to play on a Landolfi, I used a Landolfi for a number of years and still remember it's unique qualities. He has selected a top of the range Persoit bow from us to be its partner in his musical endeavours. We wish him well with his wonderful combination!
Peter Hembrough has recently supplied me with an outstanding bow the likes of which I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d own. I had been looking to upgrade my bow for about fifteen years, and had largely drawn a blank, but Peter has found just the sort of stick I was looking for, and I am extremely grateful to him. Being a fine player himself, and loving bows with both his head and his heart, Peter is in a prime position to source fine bows and link them to players. I have known Peter for many years and that he is passionate about finding fine wonderful bows for players – I recommend him highly.

As a student I appreciate a fine bow just as much as anyone else but I had a limited budget, which drew me to Peter Hembrough’s great deals on repaired bows.
After searching for quite a while for a flexible bow, with rich and colourful possibilities, I finally bought an Atelier Pajeot bow from Peter. I am very happy with the bow, having lots of fun with it, and looking forward to learning a lot from it. Thank you very much, Peter, for your friendly, helpful, expert advice and nice talks.
I am delighted to have bought a wonderful Fetique from Peter. Originally the purchase was intended for my niece, but the bow is so lovely to play on that I have kept it for myself!
I've learnt so much from you about the world of bows that I never really knew existed. It’s only the tip of the iceberg for me, but perhaps now I can join the true path with other fellow fine bow seekers safe in the knowledge that if I get stuck along the way I’ll know who to call
In 1993 I bought a wonderful F.N. Voirin from Peter Hembrough Bows and it cost £2,300. I recently had the bow valued and it is currently worth £8,000! Thank you for such a fine example.
I am delighted with my octagonal Sartory bow, such a joy to play on – thank you Peter for bringing us together
Peter is a pleasure to deal with. As a fine violinist he has an exceptional feel for what works. I am delighted with the Voirin that he found for me.
I would be happy to recommend him to any of my colleagues, and will most certainly be consulting him next time I am on the look out for a bow.
