Bow Rehair and Repair

Violin bow rehairing tools

Replacing your bow hair can help keep your playing fresh. If you notice that your frog is not in a comfortable position once you’ve put tension on your bow, your bow feels sluggish, or you’re using more rosin to “grab” the strings than you usually do, it’s probably time to rehair your bow. Depending on how much time you spend playing and the climate where you live, you may need to have your bow rehaired as often as a few times per year. Contact Aaron to schedule your rehair today.

Services are available for violin bows as well as viola, cello, bass, and baroque bows.
