Bow rehair and repair
Bow rehairs are carried out in my workshop and express service is available with prior booking.
For professional bows I use dressed hair from Sowden.
Best White "Blue String Brand" Bow Hair "Mare's" Professional bow makers and musicians choose this type of hair for its unequaled quality, natural white appearance and most of all, its consistency in diameter and strength. It originates from the Mongolian and China borders and is primarily from the female horse (Mare). The mare's hair is identified by the urine stains at the tapered lower end of the hair. This gives extra grip for the rosin, as the urine lifts the minute scales to act as microscopic anchors.
