Our Story

Annapolis Bows & Violins is owned and operated by Rebecca Hannigan, a native of Annapolis. Rebecca graduated at the top of her class in String Instrument Repair from MNSE Tech (Red Wing, MN. She furthered her luthier education by attending workshops focused on repair/restoration, bow restoration, and bow making. With two decades of experience, she has worked in music and violin shops in Nashville, Chicago, and Maryland. Rebecca has also continued her passion for performing in chamber groups and orchestras, including traveling to over 30 countries while entertaining aboard cruise ships.

Recognizing the need for a resource for the numerous string players in Annapolis and the surrounding areas, Rebecca returned to Maryland in 2017 to establish Annapolis Bows & Violins on State Circle in Downtown Annapolis. The shop quickly grew, becoming the preferred destination for players of all ages and abilities, both local and from afar. In 2020, Annapolis Bows & Violins relocated to a larger and more accessible location at 177 Defense Highway.

Rebecca's educational background includes a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from Belmont University; String Instrument Repair from Minnesota State College Southeast Technical; and the UNH Violin Craftsmanship Institute for Bow Restoration and Bow Making. She was awarded the 2015 Tarisio Young Artist's Grant for "The Luthier's Workshop" project in Chicago. She currently serves as the Secretary of the Board for the Southern Violin Association.
