Your humor is awesome
I have been rehairing and repairing bows for 35 years. These videos are interesting, to see how others do the same work. The process of rehairing bows can be approached in a variety of ways. It does not matter how each step is done as long as the end result is satisfactory.
I learned originally to rehair frog to tip, that’s how my teacher did it. Initially I thought I caught on quickly, had false sense of competency. Then when I started working in a shop, the pressure was on, it was pretty grim.
There were a number of things working against me, I was trying to use poor hair, most of the bows I was doing were poor quality, among my other things.
The thing that made the biggest difference for me was to start over and learn to do the job tip to frog,. Everything just works better for me this way.
I’ve watched other videos and the way some people do this just scares me. Some of them put the bow stick and frog in danger because of the way they do things. The last thing we want to do is break the bow.
I am from the US but, my friend, we share the same passion. Thank u for your video. I was lost making my bow. Now I have a compass.
Thank you for these videos. I want to attempt to make a homemade talharpa, and this information is really useful for figuring out how to make the bow.
Thank you very much.
I love your sense of humor!👍

Bellissimi i video Grazie!

Thank you very verymuch!
Beautiful work. I learned a lot from your video. How do you decide the amount of hair for smaller violin bows such as 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 etc.?
My passion is *****
what if I dip the end knot of the hair in a molten rosin?
What is the name of the tool you use to know how much hair you need?
Gilles how often must a violin bow be rehaired? Does it wear out from age? Is cleaning the hair with denatured alcohol recommended?
Hello John, it depend on each player. Some soloists change the hair every two weeks some musician every one or two years. It's up to you! :) It does not wear from age unless it's attacked by bugs eating hair. Always keep a strong smell like lavender (lavender essence) for example inside your instrument case to keep bugs away. I would recommend to clean your hair with alcohol as I never did it and have no idea of the result.
Where do you get this gold thread?
I also wonder this
Ah, but I love 'superglue'. ;)
5.4g for violin regardless of hair thickness ?? Thanks first.
Yes, but you have to adapt the quantity of hair to how wide or narrow is the ferrule.
@@GillesNehr And I would put less hair into a weaker stick too (if it is still worth rehairing).
