Contemporary Violin and Bow Making
The field of contemporary violin and bow making has never been more thriving, including right here in Canada.
Our craftsmen don't just repair — they also build, and their instruments and bows are played by musicians in Quebec, across Canada, in the United States, Mexico, Asia, and Europe.
At Wilder & Davis Luthiers, the relationship a musician develops with the maker of their instrument or bow matters deeply to us. Whether for adjustments or maintenance, we believe this close connection allows us to offer musicians an unmatched level of service.
The work of contemporary makers draws more attention from musicians today than ever before, and we remain a trusted reference and respected presence across the country for any musician looking to acquire a contemporary instrument or bow.
While we're proud to promote the work of our own makers, we also support the work of other contemporary makers. Encouraging craftsmanship, wherever it happens, is an essential part of our mission.
