Rehair 


Rehair services include light cleaning, French polish, and an initial rosining (let me know if you prefer your fresh hair without).

Rehair services subject to state and local sales tax on the cost of horsehair. 
Good indications that your bow needs a rehair
by Evan Orman of Denver Violins
1) Lots of breakage
2) Hair is visibly dirty
3) Hair is incorrect length either too short (bow can't loosen enough) or too long (bow can't tighten enough)
4) Uneven hair (though usually uncommon in Southern California as our humidity levels are fairly constistent, we do have occasional severe fluctuations from high humidity to low and the other way with Santa Ana conditions which can cause this. This is more common on the East Coast)
5) Your bow needs other work done

Good indications that your bow does not need a rehair
1) You have an audition tomorrow*
2) There is a change in seasons and your bow feels odd (unless any of the indicators on the previous list are present)
3) You have increased anxiety/self-consciousness before an audition or performance*

*We have ALL BEEN THERE, and we're happy to help if we can, but this is usually not an issue with your bow, and you probably sound much better than you're giving yourself credit for.
