Selected bows from our workshop provide superior dynamic stability and optimal grip on the string. Their meticulous weight distribution promotes ideal elastic firmness, ensuring precise technical response and excellent flexibility during every single bow stroke for demanding professional performances.

Miguel Mateo offers you the possibility of acquiring new and old products, all of them reviewed and approved for daily use. The woods that I acquire for the instruments in my workshop are personally selected and duly seasoned. The glues that I use are of animal origin of excellent quality and purity from different parts such as skin, bone and tendons. It depends on the work that I am going to do, I choose the most convenient one. I also use aliphatic glue for certain construction assemblies, no less suitable than hot glues and with acceptable sound qualities.

For the finishes of my instruments, I seal the pores of the wood to prevent it from absorbing environmental humidity and highlight the beauty of the grain of each species of wood. I use organic varnishes such as shellac, mixed with essence and/or linseed oil cooked with natural resins dissolved in alcohol or turpentine essence.
