A craftsman and musician dedicated to excellence

I am the owner of Romero Bowshop in Westerly, Rhode Island.

For more than 25 years, I have rehaired, repaired and restored bows for players of every level — from students to orchestral professionals.

At the same time, my 35 plus year career as a professional violinist, has allowed me to truly understand what is necessary for a bow to perform at its highest level.

Carlos Romero has been repairing bows for me for the past several years and I would not dream of going anywhere else. His attention to detail and quality of work is of the highest caliber. Whether repairing school bows or my own Thomas Dignan custom bass bow, I have utmost faith that the quality of the work will be outstanding.

Alan Bernstein
I’m a bassist, who uses his bow for jazz & classical gigs. I recommend Carlos’ work – he does an expert job & he’s reliable.
Dick Lupino
Carlos Romero, through his expertise and intuition, keeps my temperamental French bow straight and playing like a racehorse. His experience and integrity are unsurpassed. I recommend him to all my colleagues and students for any bow-related work, from rehair to repair. First Violin, Proteus String Quartet Rhode Island College
