Medium/Course texture DARK SILVER horse hair for double bass bow re-hair*
Q - Silver? Don't you mean Salt & Pepper?
A - No. Silver and Salt & Pepper are VERY different.
Salt & Pepper is a 50/50 mix of COARSE BLACK hair and FINE WHITE hair.
True Salt & Pepper is mixed by hand and takes a lot of skill to be performed
correctly and ensure an even ribbon. True Salt & Pepper is also at a
premium due to the hair preparation. Please Call Us At 1-860-535-9399 if
you would like to be quoted on true Salt & Pepper. DARK Silver is a natural
hair color from a dapple grey horse. It is a medium/course Textured hair not
unlike Salt & Pepper but at a fraction of the cost.
Upton Bass bow hair is pre-tied at the narrow end of the hair with strong nylon thread
and sealed with cyanoacrylate for superior holding. The bass bow re-hair experts
at Upton Bass will pre-tie your hank at the end intended for the tip of the bass
bow. All bow hair has taper to it, and in our opinion and experience a better
bow rehair is achieved with the thicker end of the bow hair in the frog.
Our hank of silver bass bow hair is ready to be inserted into the tip mortise
of your bow (if you rehair frog to tip, our pre-tied plug will need to be cut in
order to achieve the proper bend).
Our bass bow hair is bundled by VOLUME, not weight. Selling by weight
is inaccurate and can leave you without enough hair to have a full and wide
ribbon.

Upton Bass offers you the same hair we use in our shop daily due to popular
request, but we do not offer advice or instruction on how to
re-hair your bow.
