A fine Dominique Peccatte arrives from France circa 1860

Just over the last year or so sales behind the scenes have often been of earlier makers, notably F. X. Tourte and Persoit.  Today I am delighted to announce the arrival of this very fine Dominique Peccatte bow, complete with a certificate from Jean-Francois Raffin. Details shall soon be in the fine bows section, what a delight to see his characteristic 'S' shape to the front ridge on the head in the photograph to the right.

SUMMER SALES!

As I have done over the last ten years if you look in the fine bows section you shall see several bows have new 'summer sale' prices! Also be aware that very fine violins are available and a couple of very high specification Musafia cases are here for the discerning violinist....Happy Summer!

Peter Hembrough Bows - ten year celebration

Musafia cases arrive

To mark the ten year celebration of Peter Hembrough Bows two top specification Musafia cases have arrived.

I have had a long and happy relationship with this case company and we together decided to design a Musafia just for this occasion, unlike any other and with their own certification. Rare to the UK due to worldwide demand I am delighted they are here for the discerning musician to buy at £1,650.

Weighing just 2.6kg they are wonderfully light but massively strong and if you cherish your violin and bows I cannot think of a better case to protect them during transit.

If you are keen then contact us quickly because whenever I stock Musafia I dont have them for long.....although it is my ten year anniversary I have been selling fine french bows for a shocking forty years this year!

SUMMER SALE COMING!

Those of you who have seen this site over the years know that each summer I like to thank my customers with a very real bargain hidden within the stock. This year is no exception and over this week if you keep a beady eye on the site i dont think you shall be disappointed. Best wishes and have a lovely summer!

Musafia case - £850

Mint condition Lifton Alligator skin double violin case arrives from Quebec

Peter Hembrough Bows have a small selection of retro cases as well as new Musafia cases. Made in 1940 a Lifton violin case with Alligator exterior was a sign as a New York violinist that you had made it. Complete with French gold fittings and a plush burgundy interior it really is a superb case for the voilinist in need of taking two violins to work.
