Bow Makers (Archetiers).
A great bow can transform an instrument the same way a great instrument can. Bow making (archetterie) is a separate craft from instrument making — different tools, different woods, different apprenticeships — and the makers listed here have committed their working lives to it. Most build a small number of bows each year in the French Tourte / Sartory tradition, or the English Tubbs / Dodd tradition.
