Introduction  |  Profile  |  Bows Collection
P.Guillaume Bows

To all his work, Pierre Guillaume brings a combination of rigour and traditional French techniques. He produces bows with frogs made from silver, ebony or nickel.

These bows can be found in instrument shops and workshops the world over.
         
Special Orders

The personalised approach of the craftsman is something of Pierre Guillaume hallmark. He can incorporate a monogram, inscribe a dedication in the wood or add a decorative motif on the frog to make your bow even more special.
 
Tradition française

All bows bought in the collection Maison Bernard are sold with a certificate of authenticity. Pierre Guillaume is happy to give an opinion on your existing bow, or give advice on buying a new one. He can also provide you with a valuation certificate for insurance purposes or a statement of authenticity for old French bows. The quality of Pierre Guillaume’s judgement is acknowledged and highly respected by musicians, collectors and connoisseurs throughout the world. He is a member of the International Society of violin and bow makers.
