Cello bow by Thomas Giquet, France – 2024

It is with great pleasure that for the second time in Norway I can present Thomas Giquet, bowmaker from Brittany, France. Thomas began his career at at the French violin making school in Mirecourt. After his “Diplôme des métiers d’art”, he practiced as a violin maker at Aouat et Rouveyre. After 5 years of maintaining instruments and bows, he left Lyon to practice in another renowned workshop, Desmarchelier-Le Canu in Lille.

There he perfected his trade as a bowmaker with maintenance, restoration at a high level and production for the next 5 years. With this solid training at the bottom, he decided to return to Brittany and focus on making bows in his own workshop. The cello bow is made of the finest pernambuco, and must be tried. The bow is sold with a certificate from the bowmaker.
