Welcome to the website of Joseph Liu Violin Bow Studio.  I am Joseph, and I am a professional maker based in Los Angeles, California.  I individually make every instrument or bow from the beginning to the end.  The making proccess I employ is both time consuming and labor intensive, yet the reward is a high quality and unique instrument or bow for the discerning professional or advanced amateur musician.
