Thread Name: Why did my bowhair go haywire?
Subject: Why did my bowhair go haywire?
I hadn't opened my fiddle cases for at least a year and when I decided to tune one up last night, I found that two of my bows had sprung hair all over the place. The two in another case were fine.
The cases were side by side and neither was exposed to extreme weather/temperature changes or any type of rough treatment.
The bows that got hairy are regular horsehair, the ones that didn't change at all are mongolian.
What might have caused them to get so furry?
Thanks,
M
