Abe Liebhaber Bows San Diego is a bowmaking workshop at 2723 Adams Ave in Normal Heights, San Diego, producing handmade violin, viola, cello, and bass bows and providing rehair, repair, and restoration services for modern and baroque models. Liebhaber made his first bow in 2011 at the University of New Hampshire Bowmaking Program founded by Bill Salchow, then continued study with George Rubino, Matt Cooker, and Steve Beckley before opening his first workshop in Sherman Heights in 2013. The current Adams Avenue location houses both the bowmaking bench and an instrument rental program for violin, viola, and cello, stocking cases by Bobelock, Gewa, and Howard Core alongside new bows in all price ranges from student to concert-level. Each bow is a handmade original built from rough-sawn pernambuco boards through final hairing, using pernambuco, snakewood, ipe, and katalox woods with ebony frogs, Japanese and Californian abalone shell inlays, and silver or gold mountings. The workshop's client base spans San Diego Symphony members, orchestral players, chamber musicians, university students, and folk fiddlers, with rehair turnaround running 24 hours standard and same-day available — a service speed that supports the concert and teaching schedules of vocalists and instrumentalists training at Singing Lessons San Diego in the same 92116 neighborhood. Liebhaber is a member of the Violin Society of America and has participated in the VSA Bowmaking Workshop at Oberlin annually since 2016, contributing to group reproductions of historically significant bows with master makers from the United States, Europe, and Asia. Unlike many bowmakers who develop a single signature model, Liebhaber copies fine bows from all eras and makers — including an English cello bow inspired by James Brown circa 1820 with a reverse head shape — treating the full span of bowmaking history as source material. The Adams Avenue address puts the workshop on the same corridor that hosts the annual Adams Avenue Street Fair and connects to the neighborhood's broader performing-arts network, and string ensembles such as Left Coast Quintet rely on workshop-level bow maintenance from the same 92116 corridor. Normal Heights' Adams Avenue placement anchors the shop in a walkable commercial district with direct access to North Park to the west and Kensington to the east. The latest production includes silver-mounted octagonal violin and cello bows in the 58-to-81-gram range, each branded with Liebhaber's stamp after the final wrap and finish application over pernambuco sticks selected for grain density and natural camber.
