Hands-on instruction will include:
This workshop, in addition to the Bow Rehairing course, will best prepare you for meeting the needs of your clients who require bows that are well balanced, draw a good sound on their instruments and are comfortable in the hand, and to make beautiful music most successfully and to avoid injury. All levels are encouraged to take the course, from beginners to those looking to refine their skills.
A list of the tools and materials required for this course can be found in the Tools & Materials tab above.
