Horsehair for rehairs.

Rehair

Rehair is a regular service of the bow in which the hair is replaced typically twice a year, and recommended more often for serious players. Each bow rehair must follow a meticulous process to preserve the unique characteristics of the bow and sound quality when played. I acquire the finest hair for bows available from a trusted source that I have been working with for over a decade. I obsess over the finest details of hair length, quantity, and tension to produce superb results. The rehair process leaves many delicate parts of the bow exposed and should only be done by a highly skilled and trained professional.

We know how important it is to have your equipment when you need it. The rehair process should take less then one-hour. Our standard turn around is overnight, but appointments are available should you need your bow same-day, at no additional cost.

A rehair can be like ordering food at a restaurant. Some people like their steaks medium rare, others well done, and some do not prefer meat at all. Whatever your rehair preferences are, be sure to communicate that to your Archetier. If for any reason you are unhappy with your rehair within the first two weeks, we will gladly offer to do it again at no additional charge.
