Louis Panormo
Bow maker / Violin maker
(c. 1784 – 1862)
Louis Panormo, the youngest son of Vincenzo, was active in London from 1817 as Panormo & Co, Musical Instrument Makers and Bow Makers at 26 High Street, Bloomsbury. He moved to 46 High Street in 1830 and also operated businesses at 6 Greek Street and 22 Compton Street, consolidating them at 31 High Street in 1850. In 1854, he sold the shop to his nephew George Louis and emigrated to New Zealand. Panormo gained a considerable reputation for his work in bow and guitar making, advertising himself as 'The only Maker of Guitars in the Spanish Style.' He is known for producing many bows of fine and distinctive quality, traditionally attributed to members of the Tubbs family, although his apprentice George Middlewood also contributed to bow making.
