Testimonials
|
Abe Liebhaber is a wonderful bowmaker and friend. His work is meticulous and his eye for detail always makes me feel like my bow is in great hands. I find that Abe always goes the extra mile to make sure his customers are happy and I always try to drop by his shop when I am near. Whether it is a rehair or if you looking for a new bow- I wholeheartedly recommend Abe for all your bow needs! |

My initial impression of Abe’s cello bow was pure admiration for some of the most beautiful workmanship I’ve seen. I continued to be impressed after trying it since it draws as weighty a sound as heavier bows, but with an agility and finesse they can often lack. After years now of playing on my Liebhaber bow, I can most wholeheartedly recommend any string player to try and buy his fabulous bows! |
