Description: The W. E. Hill and Sons firm was one of the longest lasting firms in the world, certainly in England. Their roots run deep, dating back to at least 1753 when Joseph Hill was crafting and restoring fine instruments. The firm continued to produce the highest standard of craftsmanship throughout the centuries. Many of the top bowmakers trained in the Hill and Sons firm, including James Tubbs, Arthur Bultitude, William Charles Retford, and many others. From this, the firm was able to gain a healthy reputation for producing the finest quality bows. This viola bow is from the Reuning & Son shop in Boston and is here in our studio for the Viola Exhibition. The Viola Exhibition is from June 12 – 16. Weight: 69.4 grams. Certified by Chris Reuning.
