I can vouch for Bert Boon Violins. I live in The Netherlands and bought a great carbon bow from them for my fiddle. They were happy to send me a couple of pretty expensive bows to try out of a week before deciding whether to buy one. So, reliable store and good service. I haven't bought any strings from them, but have made a mental note!
