Oooh, I'm learning a lot in the replies. Wonder why do I've never seen black hair bows. I've always just assumed the bleaching meant such colours would disappear
it's like padawan training-while you learn you have to shave your head and only keep a braid but when you graduate you get to cut the hair off and make it into a bow
Actually, human hair, as an alternative for horsetail is possible. Back in 2013, here in the Philippines, a hair conditioner brand "Cream Silk" tried to prove their product using human hair instead of horsetail. They sponsored an event and even hired the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra to play for their "Cream Silk Hair Sonata" event, and became the world's first [Human] Hair Symphony Orchestra.
well that's interesting and even more unexpected to see my country here. But that is really wierd though hahaha. people gon make a human farm like promised neverland. experimenting hair in lambda LOL
I wonder whether bow with human hair would need more frequent rehair since its thinner? I feel like Ray would break all those hair in one go with his force of playing lol
It would be more prone to sticking on the wound strings especially on the base bar side with the heavier windings and regardless of that would wear through faster. Ick factor... consider that horse hair comes from what is basically a fly swatter which you are rubbing on your strings. Best!
As long as I've known that bows were made of horse hair, I've wondered if you could make one with human hair. I feel like I got an answer to a life long question this morning, and the answer was yes! So satisfying...
I was surprised by the sound. Definitely would probably break a lot faster than a normal bow but I’m surprised I’ve never heard of such a thing being done before
To be really honest, making bows with different hairs other than horse hair is such an interesting concept that I believe is definitely a topic that can be delve into deeper with soo much potential, I really hope you guys can try out more of these
Archetiers are real troopers. One of my friends is one & she frequently talks about how difficult it is to make sure the required wood is being reforested and taken care of in Brazil. I've also seen the process of hand picking out the damaged horse hair strands. My admiration and respect for archetiers has risen with this guy.
I am a retired equine library curator and love violin music. I’ve always been curious what differences in sound might be made depending on the breed of horse, the gender of horse, their age, and the color of the tail hair. Some horses have quite wavy hair, while others have quite straight hair. Certain horses have very coarse hair while others have fine hair. It doesn’t make sense to me that there are no differences in sound. I had neighbors who owned a music store and I asked him where tail hair was sourced for violin bows and they told me from horses sent to slaughter. Sad about that. It also means what musicians might get could be vastly different. Of course tail hair could be obtained from living horses which to me would be preferable. Before I retired I wanted to write to Itzak Perlman to ask if he would be interested in testing various horse tail hair to see what produced the best sound, but I never got my courage up enough to write to him. However I have wondered for years about all the expense and study is put into selecting superb violins but yet where is the study regarding the quality of the horse tail hair used in bows?
I remember reading that the hair used for bows usually come from horses living in very cold climate (like Siberia or Mongolia) because their hair is thicker and stronger. Also, if I'm not mistaken, violinists, violists and cellists tend to use white hair while bassists prefer black hair, which is more coarse.
I have often wondered the same, because the knackeries in my city sell horse tails to people to make into false tails (for showing and sometimes dressage) but apparently they never get approached to sell them for violin bows. (I know it's a macabre subject, but ex-racehorses get "retired" in the thousands here each year, so people have found various ways to make use of the resulting "materials" and fake tails is one of them...)
Give that special bow to a child prodigy and let them play Paganini. Your target will be filled with a crippling inferiority complex and imposter syndrome 😂
As a aspiring luthier in the USA ... Frequently we have to be a archetier aswell... Bottom grade horsehair cost 8 bucks... 😅😂😁 this was very ... Amusing. And for those wondering you can get horse hair in the standard white/ cream... But also in black, brown, and peppered.
Paul is the real star of this video. Imagine being a craftsman of his level, and allowing two rank amateurs into your workshop! (no offence to the rank amateurs). Great video 👍
Fascinating.... Making possible what some have speculated! A guy called Mattias, likewise wondered if he could MAKE GUITAR STRINGS FROM SPIDER WEB. He had to go to Madagascar... which spiders produce the strongest webs in the world... & milked over 1,000 spiders... local kids helped find them... to get the 6,000 metres he needed but eventually HE MADE AN E STRING STRONG ENOUGH TO BE PLAYABLE (on a smaller guitar. The first one broke when tuning)
@@marjamerryflower Aye him. Not that I know his channel. This particular vid caught my eye and I loved how he engaged.... bribed really.... the local children to help catch loadsa spiders!
the emotional rollercoaster i went through from > mildly creeped out at the concept of a human hair bow > terrified that eddy might lose a finger > melting into a happy puddle during the end demonstration god i will never get tired of just hearing you guys play;-; 10/10 video !!! this felt like more of a ha ha silly video idea at the start but after everything yall have a humain hair bow now??? that's kinda really cool????
Watching Eddie handle the sharp blades gives me a n x i e t y ! ! ! I'm so glad nobody got hurt and everything went well. Good job, guys! I'm unfortunately reminded of the movie The Red Violin. LOL!
For those wondering, "archetier" is a French word. An archery bow is called "arc" while a music bow is called "archet". So an archetier is someone who makes "archets".
Thank you for letting us see an experienced craftsman doing such good work. Watching you try was fun, but I appreciate watching the bow re-haired and all the steps involved.
this was actually so cool to see! Awesome idea 👏 I did think that this would work from the beginning but was still surprised how good it sounded. It'll probably break quicker (especially in Eddy's hands ha) but totally worth it!

Now imagine how these bows would look if 2Cellos used them 💀
I was literally thinking the same thing. 🤔🤭
*TwoSet starts recruiting long-haired individuals for totally normal reasons.*
14:25 It has a softer, more sparkly quality. I can imagine a composer one day might specify "switch to bow with human hair."
Imagine donating your hair and finding out that it is now in a violin bow😂
I wouldn't even be mad. 😂
Cuz ur a TwoSet fan😊❤
gotta admit, i cant help but bow down to this level of artistry. a new era is combing
I see what you did hair😂

Not sacrilegious la, it makes good sound!
@@hawkins347 spider silk at least makes sense because that thing is STRONG . Human hair isn't as strong as horse hair.
I was surprised by the sound. Definitely would probably break a lot faster than a normal bow but I’m surprised I’ve never heard of such a thing being done before
This seems a fake. Bad sincronization. There are some movements without a sound... This is an impression that I've got
...
@@piotrz5626 I could definitely tell it's real, it could just be a reverb.
Yes, may be. I've tried with another speaker and the sound has changed. It's okay
Ray should start to grow long hair at this point. Next time he will not only have extra E string on stage, but also extra bow hair just in case lol
This video is answering my childhood curiousity, thanks guys
Good to know I'm not the only one!

I wonder what other animals have hair that is long enough for that? I can't think of any right away
Very interesting
Honestly, I'm now a little surprised it wasn't commonplace back then when everyone grew out their hair 🤔 probably would've been cheaper for them
@@Hedwig-ku5fz lions mane? Or is that too cool.

No thanks.
I love how Eddy always wants to try and learn new things despite his fears
Imagine loving someone so much your bowstring is their hair
taking shawty being a melody literally
Ray Chen would destroy that bow😂 It being so frail, it wouldn't last through whatever first movement he's playing. 😂

it could be a combination of the room's echo and their skills improving, but is it just me or does it sound really smooth?
I think the thinner hair might contribute to that. But I thought the same thing. Maybe less biting on the strings?
I agree! Violin is actually not one of my favorite instruments to listen to but this sounded lovely
Mammoth hair is the next logical step. Old hair for old violins.
Paul is awesome!! He kept everything hands on, but was still super informative and engaging. What a great archetier to teach and guide them.

There is a Hannibal episode in which something like this happens.
When you practice so much, it doesn't even matter what kind of hair your bow is made from
Petition for Brett's full version of Bach's Chaconne with the human hair bow 🙏
I wonder if the bow would survive all the way through since the hairs are so thin and probably break sooner. But IDK, maybe it's not an issue.
My 3AM thoughts come true
This guy was such a patient and kind teacher 🎉 shoutout to him 🎉❤
this gives me whole nother level of respect for luthiers 😂
Damn, I was growing my hair out for this exact purpose and you beat me to it, damn 😂
The sound seemed to project so much lighter and brighter
the most metal bow. also, you make such lovely sound, it's so clear and crisp :)
Funny and creative ideas😆😆and Paul looks like a nice guy, Brett and Eddy seem so happy 🥰
you need to comb from the end of the hair first and go upwards little by little, so you don't get stuck and don't break the hair.
Bows with black hair look really cool.
Damn! Didn't expect it to actually work. I thought it would snap or something.
if i had hair long enough to donate.....this is where it would go
Old violins strings were made of the intestines of animals like cows or sheep. Nowadays, they can be made of human intestines!
✨real✨human hair
I met the brother of the archetier today!
as a violinist and a hairstylist, this was fantastic 😂
The look of the black hair is legit
Now grow your hair to the length needed and use your own for rehairing your bows!
The creativity and to come up with something like that (or were they like, "I've always wondered if it's possible...")!
For those wondering, "archetier" is a French word.
