Bow Hair

It is common knowledge that the tail hair from horses in the colder northern and southern climates is considered the best. Being from a cold climate, the hairs are thicker and stronger. The gender of the horse also comes into consideration, as the stallion hair is cleaner than mare hair. White hairs are preferred for violin and viola bows over darker colored bows because they are usually smoother and finer in texture. Once gathered from the horse, the hairs go through a two step cleaning process before it is inspected for size, split ends and other irregularities before it is bundled and shipped.

JR Music Supply has just received a shipment of finest quality Siberian and Mongolian bow hair in 32" and 33" lengths. They come in one pound bundles and are comprised of white/unbleached, strong horse hairs that are of the same thickness. Please call your sales rep for price information.

It is a 12 note full range chromatic tuner, A4 calibration: 420 - 460 Hz, with a tuning range of A2 - A7, a LED indication light, and a LCD illumination panel that is very bright, which makes it easy to read. Why guess, when you can know that your instrument is properly tuned. Call your JR Music Supply sales representative today.
