“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!”

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."

Read MoreI 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

Read MorePeter 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.
