Long & Branco Bows
Long & Branco was created by Charles Long, a Canadian luthier and archetier of 35 years now retired. They are made collaboratively with parts from Portugal, China, India and Canada to produce a high-quality yet cost effective bow. The sticks are carbon fibre, frogs are resin, resin ebony hybrids and stabilised burwood.
“The purpose is to offer a visually different presentation… and to make sure everything is financially accessible to everyone. Plus the physics of the components add to sound production in a very surprising way. This is my retirement project after being a bowmaker/violin maker/ shop owner for more than 30 years.”
