    I bring my daughter's trumpet to Jim for cleaning. Jim does a great job and always has it done on time! Highly recommend Windsmith and Jim.

    The service was very poor. I got stressed over the location and they don't have what I need,

    Setting & Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5…read more Abe Liebhaber Bows is ran by Abe Liebhaber himself and I have had the pleasure with working with him over the course of a month to purchase a very valuable bow. Abe is not only an amazing dealer, repairer, and archetier, he is a man of great integrity and value. Many dealers are in it for the quick or large sale, but Abe definitely cares about the entire experience and makes sure that every aspect of purchasing a new bow is perfect. His shop is the only bow shop in San Diego and I would not trust anyone else with my rehairs. If you are looking for a fine bow that has been prepared immaculately and service that is excellent as well as earnest, Abe is definitely my first choice in all of Southern California. Abe's repair prices are objectively lower than the competition while the craftmanship is of the highest caliber and most importantly is that they are honest and transparent. His inventory is small at times, but if you give him a budget and time, he will surely find you something amazing. Though my review sounds like a paid advertisement, the amount of respect, genuine love for the industry, and communication that Abe has shown me has left a very strong impression on me and I hope my experience brings more visibility to his great business!

    Since moving to San Diego I have been bringing my bow Abe to be re-haired as he came highly…read morerecommended. Being a bow maker himself the quality of his work is absolutely superior and extremely reasonable cost -wise. Always friendly and welcoming , I would not take my bow anywhere else and I look forward to trying one of his own bows for my cello.
