W. E. Hill & Sons

United Kingdom

Since 1762, the name Hill has represented a combination of craftsmanship and the highest standards of expertise that the firm continues to offer, with a long and distinguished history of instrument and bow making.  

In continuing the tradition of W. E. Hill & Sons, they assembled a talented team to produce instruments, bows, and accessories to exacting standards for contemporary concert artists.

Every instrument and bow is made entirely in their Hampstead workshop.

The construction of W. E. Hill & Sons instruments is continuing under the direction of Stefan-Peter Greiner and Robert Brewer Young. The instruments are modelled after golden-period Stradivari, including the Messiah of 1716, notable Bergonzis and the Rode Guarneri del Gesu of 1734. These instruments all have historical connections to the W. E. Hill & Sons firm.
