Bow Rehairing




Fine bows must be treated with the utmost care to preserve their condition, playability and value.  We will rehair your bow using 'Blue String Brand' hair from Michael T. Sowden and Sons of  West Yorkshire, England (http://www.sowden.co.uk/)   We believe this to be the best hair in the world and well worth the $85 which we charge for it.   By making an appointment ahead of time you can have your bow returned to you, cleaned and polished and ready to play within a day or two. 

For out of town customers, we will ship a bow back to its owner at cost.

How often should a player have his or her bow rehaired?  It varies from player to player.  We have customers who have their bow rehaired three or four times a year and others who may play on the same hair for ten or twenty years.  Many teachers recommend a bow be rehaired every year or so.
