Walter's baroque violin bow was selected by Viktoria Mullova for her recording of the Bach's 6 Solo Sonatas & Partitas
(...) Mullova's sense of an ongoing musical line is immaculate and totally unselfconscious, (...) the authority of her performances is never in doubt.
The Guardian - Review
One of the best known bow makers in Italy, Walter Barbiero enjoys a vast reputation as one of the leading archetiers of his generation. He makes bows for all string instruments and all periods. His bows are played by top musicians such as Viktoria Mullova, Isabelle Faust, Mario Brunello & more.
He has a particular passion for baroque and classical bows. As such, he has made bows for Giuliano Carmignola, who used one to record Vivaldi concertos for Deutsche Grammophon. Another recording featuring one of his bows is Viktoria Mullova’s Bach Sonatas and Partitas for Onux.
His bows differ from the others for their soft and elegant sound but above all for their good technical characteristics. He always prioritises the player as he feels that musicians can best express their thoughts, emotions and music through his bows.
Used by musicians such as Viktoria Mullova, Isabelle Faust and Mario Brunello, Walter is a prominent bow maker. He has mastered his craft for both modern and period bows.
Rare antique instruments, representing both historical significance and unparalleled craftsmanship.
