I also have an old bow I think might be worth rehairing, maybe you could take a look.

Do you want to learn how to actually build instruments as a profession? Then you need to get a good teacher or attend an accredited school. I went to the New World School of Violin Making, but you can also check out the Chicago School of Violin Making, plus any number of fine schools around the world. Do a little more internet research and you should be able to find options.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-42982662676077024772014-07-31T10:57:37.431-05:002014-07-31T10:57:37.431-05:00Hi !

I love being able to arm musicians with good equipment and make their violins sound good, but there are days it's tough to be in a field where you will never be the best. I think violin making helped prepare me to be a parent because you aim for perfect but must be content with close enough.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-1269768024403626972014-07-10T08:24:30.323-05:002014-07-10T08:24:30.323-05:00I saved this post for a time when I could sit and ...I saved this post for a time when I could sit and read it at my leisure and fully appreciate all you do. I knew it was going to be a fascinating read and wanted to be able to read it uninterrupted and enjoy it. :o)<br /><br />This was delightful and so out of the ordinary for me. I had never given combing the hairs any thought, but of course, it just makes sense. <br /><br />I also loved reading about the blocks and planing--your love and appreciation for all you do can be seen in every word you wrote. :o) I loved this, Kory!

Should I ever (for what reason, I don't know, since I don't own one) need a bow rehaired, I will be sure to allow the shop as much time as they need. :) <br />-LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351940065850639770noreply@blogger.com
