Testimonials
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! |
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! |
I have had the pleasure of trying several of Mr. Liebhaber's viola bows- the quality of his work is pristine, and the balanced handling allows me to tackle different articulations with ease. In addition to his ability as a maker, I have always enjoyed Mr. Liebhaber's bow rehair. I recommend his workmanship without hesitation. |
All four Hausmann Quartet members are long-time loyal customers of Abe. We trust his work and appreciate the care and expertise he provides to us, our colleagues, and students who we enthusiastically recommend to him for rehairs, repairs, restoration and more. We are fortunate to have Abe in San Diego and look forward to working with him for years to come. |
Abe's enthusiasm for and curiosity about the art of bowmaking has propelled his career, both in making new bows as well as repair and rehair, to great heights. The talent, care, and dedication that Abe puts into his craft is an invaluable resource to string players in southern California. San Diego is lucky to have a shop like his. |
