Welcome

Canadian Association of Violin and Bow Makers 

Welcome to the Canadian Association of Violin & Bow Makers.  If you are looking for an instrument or bow, or you wish to find a luthier in your region, we are here to help!

Visiting our annual exhibitions allows you to try many fine contemporary instruments and bows in one place. 

Throughout the year you’ll see here available instruments & bows posted from across Canada and you may arrange to try them too. 

We look forward to meeting you!
