Stringed Instrument shop in London

London Has a great tradition in fine musical instruments and bows, which was established most notably through the excellent craftsmanship of W. E. Hill & Sons.

W. E. Hill & Sons

W. E. Hill & Sons of New Bond Street, London was established in 1887 and soon gained a worldwide reputation for excellence in making instruments and bows as well as repairs and cases. The W. E. Hill & Sons certificate of authenticity was considered definitive.

Throughout the twentieth Century London became an established centre in Europe for fine stringed instruments and bows.

Continuing the Tradition of fine instruments and bows in London.

In 2004 Bishop Instruments & Bows established our Central London shop in South Moulton Street, just around the corner from where it all started over 100 years previous with W. E. Hill & Sons.
