Aryeh Frankfurter

I specialize in bow re-hairing for fiddlers, students and professional musicians whose bows are used in "work-horse" environments.

Applying more and more resin but your bow just slips and slides across the strings instead of biting and gripping? Finding massive discoloration at the frog as dirt and oils accumulate? Down to 2/3 of hair and more and more hair is falling out? 

Or maybe you have been feeling discouraged or frustrated with your playing and experiencing a harder and harder time getting the tone and expression you once did from your instrument - but don't know why? 

Often the problem is as simple as needing new hair on your bow!

Like changing strings on your instrument, the hair on your bow ought to be changed regularly (depending on how much your play) and making this one service a routine part of your instrument maintenance will make a huge difference in your fiddling & music making. You will be delighted at the responsiveness, tone and expression arising from your instrument when good quality fresh hair is placed on your bow.

Often, fiddlers will  procrastinate or completely forego having their bows re-haired due to the prohibitive cost of this service.  It can feel hard to justify having a bow re-haired when the expense does not align with the perceived value of the bow, even if you yourself are perfectly happy with the bow itself. This is true especially for  low end functional "student" grade bows, newer low cost carbon fiber bows or medium-end quality "fiddler" bows  - all of which are often neglected because they are perceived as not being worth the expense, time and trouble. 

My bow re-hair service specializes  in those neglected "work-horse" fiddlesticks, offering a quality re-hair, care and re-vitalization without emptying your wallet.

For $65.00 your bow will be cleaned and polished to restore its elegance and beauty. I use only premium high grade Mongolian Horse hair with excellent bite and even response across your bow.

I guarantee you will be completely satisfied with the re-hair service and will follow up and make any adjustments necessary  until satisfaction is achieved. 

Turn-around time can be as short as 24-48 hours (I do not accept emergency jobs but can offer you a spare bow to tide you over).

I offer free  pickup and delivery service within 40 miles of my residence in Monroe, Oregon.

If you need one, I can offer you spare bow  to tide you over while your bow is being re-haired.
