Just a heads up... Here's an admittedly two-year-old discussion that provides some insight into the company and it's business practices. The company's Web site indicates the current wait is at least four weeks.

If the hair on your bow is breaking at a high rate, it may just be old hair. Bow hair (actual horse hair) has to be replaced from time to time. A good working fiddle player will probably have a bow rehaired two or three times a year. Most working players keep several good bows so they can stand to have on or two in for rehair. New hair won't break on you unless you haven't developed enough technique to use it properly. There's nothing about a bow that makes one lose hair faster than another.

I like what beardedbruce had to say. Good advice, that. And if you're determined to acquire a new bow you must choose one by playing through a bunch of them on your fiddle and select the one that produces the best tone in your hand on your fiddle. A bow can cost a great deal of money and still not be the best for your hand and fiddle. Make sure your have good strings on your fiddle. D'Addario Helicore or Thomastik-Infeld are generally preferred.

Good luck.
