Maker and Restorer of Fine Bows Expert Appraisals Postal Service © Michael J. Taylor           ver the many years I have been involved with bows, a postal service has been a necessary requirement. I continue to have many customers from around the world requiring the best work on their bows. Standard repairs become sensitive when the element of climate conditions are so varied. All touring string players will know about hair length and other problems when travelling from a dry climate to a very humid one.      For non European customers, depending on the type of work asked for, if I receive the bow/s by Thursday, I can usually guarantee to return the bows Monday or Tuesday the following week. Within Europe I can offer a return of post service.      For every customer, with prior discussion, the necessary climate and concert hall conditions are all taken into consideration. Repair and restoration work needs to be understood as more than just a craft.      Customers without mailing tubes need not worry. I can supply these with hard wooden caps to protect the most valuable of bows. I will also offer the best advise as to methods of shipping and the necessary customs declarations.
