Biography

I'm a bowmaker who does work for many students and professional musicians including members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera Orchestra.  I do repairs and restorations, make and sell bows, as well as take care of  everyday bow maintenance issues like rehairs and thumbgrips.



Rehair

Every string musician understands the importance of a good rehair.  For me, it is the foundation of  my business - everything starts with doing the best rehair I can  in a timely manner.   A technically perfect rehair is worthless without good hair - that is why I use the only the finest quality horsehair.

LOCATION

I'm located in Downtown Chicago at 410 S. Michigan Avenue in The Fine Arts Building, between Van Buren and Congress, on the 7th floor, in suite 701.

I'm open Monday thru Friday from 9:30am to 2:00pm, Saturday by Appt.  I'm also accepting work at my home work- shop on Chicago's North Side most afternoons and evenings.   My colleagues are usally in the shop 'till 4:30 if you want to drop a bow off.


Phone (anytime): 773-370-1088
