Maestro, thank you, great information.
P.S.: Violin maker Russel Hopper explains, there are no scales on horse hair and it is the rosin on the bow And strings, sticking to each other, which makes the vibrations.
If it were scales on the hair, you would not need the rosin.
There is a photo of a horse hair magnified 400x and shows the hair to be very smooth.
I tried to add a link but could not.
The hair have the scales but they are not enough to scratch the stings and make sound. That's why we use rosin. But they are big enough to keep the rosin. Otherwise we could also use nylon.
@@maestrokimon: Thank you, maestro. I have searched and found an article by Francoise Rocaboy, from 1990, published by the Catgut Acoustical society, showing micrographs of horse hair at a much higher magnification ( X4000 ), than the one Mr. Hopper showed ( X400 ) and shows the scales quite clearly.
As I read Mr Hopper's blog, something ,in the back of my mind, bothered me about no scales on a hair. I was not considering the low magnification of the photo he showed. I should have known better, but I can be pretty foolish, at times. 🤓🤡🙄
As always, so very interesting. I take it, for some reason, the wood will resist being re-heated, and re-bent, 100 years later when it tends to straighten out?
A good pernambuco bow won't need re-bending, but every bow needs new hair every 6 tot 18 months depending on how much it is used as I say close to the end of the video.
First let me wish you a happy and successful 2023!
Question: What is your opinion of the practice of some luthiers to clean the hair of the bow with alcohol or acetone to remove grease and colophonium?
I just did a search of the issue, on professional sites.
I saw no mention of acetone, only alcohol. Alcohol seems to be the chosen hair cleaner.
Check out the professional sites, for procedure instructions and Don't get it on your varnish, either instrument or bow.
P.S.: Always refer to the professional sites, for instrument care and avoid forums like the plague.
Forums are Loaded with BS, from amateurs and people of even less knowledge than that.
