HIGH QUALITY – EXPERTLY HANDCRAFTED – GREAT VALUE

Our bows are handcrafted in traditions that are centuries old for exceptional tone and craftsmanship. We make all of our professional bows from 100% certified Pernambuco that is loft-seasoned and aged in Germany. Each bow stick is selected for its grain, strength, responsiveness, and its tonal qualities. Hermann Luger bows are designed with the player in mind and for many years of enjoyment.

Our bows represent an exceptional value in handcrafted bows, stemming from the high-quality materials we use, and pride in craftsmanship which is evident in our exceptionally clean handwork.

GOOD BOWS SHOULD:

      • Draw a big, full, rich, and powerful sound from your instrument using less energy
      • Do a good deal of the work for you and be exceptionally responsive to your input
      • Have a good balance point and appropriate weight to assist you to achieve perfection
