Welcome to the Canadian Association of Violin and Bow Makers
For over ten years, Canada’s luthiers and bow makers have moved forward together, driven by a spirit of collaboration, sharing, and passion. Every gesture, every creation, is fueled by the exchange of knowledge and a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of excellence.
At the heart of this vibrant community, artisans refine their techniques, pass on their expertise, and elevate one another. This unique dynamic has given rise to a new generation of exceptional craftspeople — innovative, meticulous, and deeply rooted in the great traditions of instrument making.
Thanks to this collective work, Canada has today emerged as one of the world’s leaders in the art of violin and bow making. This achievement is recognized and celebrated by the musical community, which understands how essential these artisans are to the flourishing of culture and artistic excellence.
Committed to a mission of education and transmission, the Association proudly supports and celebrates the artisans who shape the future of music in Canada and around the world.
