A Good video on rehairing the P&H bows. I've been wanting to do this for years as a teacher etc. Now, I'm confident I can. Thanks!

I moved several times in the past 8 years and didn't have opportunity to unpack my 2 violins & 3 bows. When I did yesterday, lo and behold all the bow hairs were broken. A local string shop offered to sell me a new bow for ONLY $60 and that was my intention this morning UNTIL I saw how easy it is. I will be buying/ordering new hairs. Thank you for the close up views which were very clear, unlike the other videos I checked out. I'll edit this with an update once I've gotten the new hairs and tried this method. It sure looks straightforward and simple.

I have one of these P&H bows and I highly recommend them for beginners on the violin. Well made, perfect weight, well balanced and hair quality is a lot better than the Chinese bows that I've tried. I know these are probably made in China too. Cost me £40 new but worth every penny

Indeed. The hard part is getting the hair to get in straight order while tying the end and not losing any tension. I’m sure there’s a tool that helps with this but so far I like to do it as awkward as possible while holding the hair in one hand, and trying to tie a knot with one hand and my teeth lol

Having read this video’s title, some (most?) commenters seem to think that this video shows them how to rehair any bow, but that is not true. As the presenter says at 0:08, this video ONLY applies to rehairing P&H bows, which say "P&H London" on the "slider" of the frog (0:47). If your bow is made by anyone else, you will need a traditional bow rehair, which is more complicated and more expensive. Bow rehairing is not a simple process, and it requires an experienced person having specialized tools. It may be cheaper to buy a new beginner bow (with new hair) than it is to rehair a beginner bow. Most (but not all) string repair shops are ethical and will give you appropriate advice about the maintenance of your violin and bow. Talk with several string players in your area to determine the best repair shop(s) in your region.
