Evan Orman cello bow
Contemporary bow maker Evan Orman studied cello performance at the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Banff Centre in Canada, and the New England Conservatory. With a passion for music and an evolving fascination for instrument making, Evan eventually turned his focus toward making bows.
A regular attendee of the bow making workshop at Oberlin College since 1999, Evan honed his skills while working with many of today's leading makers, including Stéphane Thomachot, Eric Grandchamp, Morgan Andersen, Lee Guthrie, Jean Grunberger, Steven Beckley, and Tim baker among others.
Evan is a past president of the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers and a member of The Violin Society of America and the British Violin Making Association. He currently works out of Denver Violins, a company that he co-founded with partners Eddy and Mackenzie Miller. His bows are in the hands of many top string players from around the world.
