Is your bow not playing like it used to? Not playing like you want it to? All bows need proper maintenance. For many bows, it is likely that just a periodic rehairing is necessary. However, on many vintage bows, it is commonly necessary to take care of other issues as well.
Examples of these other issues are worn screw holes, stripped eyelets, frog misalignment, cracked or missing tips, loose grips, improper camber, improper balance, and so on. No matter what quality level of your bow—whether an inexpensive student bow or a valuable and historic bow by an old French master—I would be happy to advise you on any maintenance, repair, or restoration issues on your bow.
I do not charge for repair or restoration estimates, but I do need to have the bow in hand for inspection. Please do not hesitate to call me with questions regarding repair on your bow.
