Jean Tabary Workshop - Wadowice, Poland

The town of Wadowice, the home town of the late Pope John Paul II, is the place where we helped to set up our engineer in advanced materials to create a shop producing bows and other products for the stringed instrument sector. The Apprentice, Prism and Tabary line of carbon bows are famous to many in the trade. It started 7 years ago with a high quality bow for violin, the Tabary. Soon a viola, cello and bass bow were added. From there we moved to the student bow market where the need for a consistently good stick was impossible to satisfy with wood bows. The Prism is available in many colors and sizes. Later, a lower priced version called the Apprentice was added.

Recently a new line of carbon fiber products was developed. The Tabary Twist endpin for cello and bass is an innovative product, modern and sleek in appearance, and described by some as the most amazing endpin ever produced. Now available in carbon fiber and aluminum. New products in advanced materials are steadily being developed - watch our "News" page.
