Bow re-hairing
Bow re-hairing is offered through our network of specialized craftsmen, working in accordance with established traditions of bow making. Each bow is entrusted to experienced professionals whose expertise ensures that technical precision and musical sensitivity are maintained throughout the process.
The selection of materials, tension and balance is approached with care, recognising that re-hairing is not merely a technical procedure but an intervention that directly influences a bow’s responsiveness, articulation and overall playing character.
Specialist execution within our network
Each bow is assessed individually prior to re-hairing, taking into account its construction, condition and intended use. Decisions regarding hair quality, tension and adjustment are made in consultation with the appointed craftsman, with attention to both structural integrity and musical performance.
Heartwood Violins coordinates the process with discretion, ensuring that interventions are aligned with the character of the bow and the requirements of the player. In this way, bow re-hairing is understood not as routine maintenance, but as a considered contribution to the bow’s long-term function and artistic potential.
