John Greenwood is well known to string musicians all over the Bay Area and beyond. He studied making with Jean Grunberger in Paris continued at the Oberlin bow making workshops.

The workshops of W.E.Hill & Sons produced exceptional bows for many decades. The bows stamped HILL, H&S or W.E.H&S were considered their “Budget” bows which sold at a lower price. In reality the only real difference between these bows and those with the “full stamp” W.E.HILL & SONS were the frog and button which had simpler mountings. But the quality of the sticks were usually the same on all of the Hill bows.
