Indeed, it was a great response to your query, but before you whack the
tail off the horse and grab the rosin, you might heed the words of
violin maker Hans Johansson:
cite: http://www.centrum.is/hansi/thebow.html
"Bows are generally made by specialist bow makers although some violin
makers have made bows as well. One of the tasks which a violin maker is
trained in however is the re-hairing of bows. Rehairing a bow is a time
consuming and troublesome job. The main reason for this is that to
rehair a bow properly without damage requires lot's of patience and
skill. Too many good bows have been badly damaged by people who have
learned bow rehairing from a book and think that it might be a
lucrative way to watch television. Bows should be entrusted only to
trained professionals."
