The Maker
The W.E. Hill and Sons firm ranks among the longest lasting firms in the world, and certainly in England. Indeed, its roots run deep.
The family history dates back to at least 1753. At that time, Joseph Hill crafted and restored fine instruments. Over time, the firm continued to produce work of the highest standard. In short, the Hill name became a benchmark for English bows.
