Cello Bow Rehair with Zarelon ® FH Unbreakable Horsehair
- Hair is impossible to break or stretch when playing. Never rehair again.
- Identical to traditional horsehair in appearance and touch. Continue using your favorite rosin.
- Dramatically increased rosin uptake and hair grip; players find tone is fuller, more consistent.
- Never fear aggressive, intense passages; focus on the music - not on breaking bow hairs.
- Zarelon ® FH is a reinforced keratin biocomposite derived from horse hair; its enhanced mechanical properties result in zero stretching or breaking and a characteristic firmness and clarity.
- FH Is never bleached or dyed; traditional horsehair however is always washed with poisonous chemicals and bleached to remove urine, feces and other contaminants, making it brittle and weak.
-
FH is unaffected by moisture, humidity, and temperature; the hair does not expand in the summer or contract in the winter. FH does not oxidize or attract finger oil.
- Any bow can be haired with Zarelon ® FH.
- The rehairing process always risks damage to the bow itself - many fine bows have been gradually destroyed by years of rehair jobs. FH is done once for life, preserving historic and valuable bows.
*Please note: Not a vegan bow hair. FH materials are ethically sourced from horse byproduct.
