Lutherie is a Family Matter! We make Guitars and Violins!

Bishop Stringed Instruments

Collaboration

“Bishop Stringed Instruments” is a combined effort by Bishop Guitars and Bluefiddle’s West Wind Strings. Therefore, we intend to showcase the work of both Brian Bishop and Chet Bishop.

For example, Brian builds word-class guitars from his home in Forest Grove, Oregon. By comparison, Chet builds all the violin-family instruments (including five-string fiddles.) However, his home is a few miles outside Forest Grove.

You have come to the right place, if you want guitar-family instruments or  violin-family instruments,!

Additionally, the menu above will help you find the type of instrument you are looking for.
