Violin Bow by Gary Leahy, Ireland 2025

He moved to Ireland in 2002 to study bow making with Noel Burke and established his own workshop in 2005. Apart from a year in Paris, he has been based in County Mayo ever since. Leahy’s bows draw inspiration from French bow making of the late 18th up to mid-19th centuries.
