A spectacularly beautiful Tubbs
Nov 2, 2020

“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!”

Who buys from PHB?
Aug 1, 2020

"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."

Kind words
Jul 3, 2020

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 enjoys a delightful combination
Sep 6, 2019

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!

Dominique Peccatte finds a new home
Jan 29, 2013

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.

Johannes chooses a Voirin
Mar 2, 2012

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.

David enjoys his Pajeot
Aug 2, 2010

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.

Carole keeps it for herself

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!

Miranda’s miraculous Lamy
Jul 9, 2010

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.

Simon values his Voirin
Aug 22, 2009

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.

My objective is to bring fine bows to players, to advise on suitability of bows for various playing styles and to marry appropriate bows to clients’ violins. I am committed to restoring fine bows to their former glory both from a historical and an ecological standpoint.
