HARTL'S BOW SHOP

I began making violins in 2000 as a hobby. My grandfather was
my inspiration as he began making violins in the late 70’s under the instruction of Luthier Del Brock. As time
passed I became more intrigued with the art of violin making. Over the years I have hand crafted several violins
and made minor restorations for people that played instruments in the stringed family. One thing I was unable to
do was provide service for the bows. As my hobby turned into a business it became important for me to provide the
best services possible and to do that I attended the Bow Making, Restoration & Rehairing classes for Classic and
Baroque bows at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in British Columbia, Canada. After being classically trained in
the art of bow making and restoration I have focused all my attention to this field to strive for perfection.
Hartl’s Bow Shop is owned and operated by my self (Ernie Hartl). Your bows will be taken care of with the utmost
respect. This is a full service bow shop and I work by appointment only to provide my customers with the attention
and respect they deserve.
