Bow Hair For Sale - Articles
Adam Sweet carefully selects the purest color and highest quality horsehair to create superior violin bows. Each strand of Mongolian horsetail hair is meticulously sorted for even thickness and length, ensuring maximum strength and a natural creamy white color.
Our horsetail hair is 100% natural and specifically designed for use in children’s violins, violins, violas, and cellos. With each bowstring requiring approximately 180-220 hairs and weighing approximately 7 grams, we guarantee a high-quality, long-lasting, and uniform product.
Pure white is the optimal color for horsetail hair, as other colors are not commonly used and do not provide the same quality as pure white. The horsehair used for our bows is smooth and expertly picked over six times to ensure the most perfect horsetail hair is used in our products.
It is important to note that the use of horsetail hair from the horse mane is not suitable for bowstring production, as it possesses poor quality and shorter length.
Our natural white horsetail hair is of the highest quality and boasts superior strength, excellent stretch, and recovery rate, providing the best possible sound quality for a variety of violins. For customers interested in a more affordable option, we also provide bleached white horsetail hair, made by bleaching high-quality black or other color horsetail hair to create a white appearance. Although the appearance is the same as natural white, the quality is not as high and is used primarily for low-cost options.

AVAILABLE BOW HAIR BY COLOR:
Adam Sweet offers three main types of horsehair colors: natural, bleached, and dyed. You can learn more about each type on our website and choose the one that best suits your specific needs. We pride ourselves on our rich experience and professional technology in horsehair color processing, ensuring that each product we offer is of the highest quality.
Natural Color
Pure natural horsehair is the most suitable for a violin bow, viola bow, and cello bow. Its high strength and thickness make it strong and durable, and its sound quality is excellent. Common natural color horsetails include white, black, brown, gold, and mixed colors.
Bleached Color
Bleached white horsehair is a color that is achieved by bleaching other natural horsehair. Although it appears slightly darker than natural white, its strength and sound quality are not as good as natural horsehair. However, its advantage is a lower cost, and it is only available in white.
Natural Dyed Hair
For those interested in more colors of horsehair, we also offer dyeing options. By using dyes to dye natural horsehair, we retain its natural properties while creating more interesting and bright colors. Our dyeing options support colors such as green, red, blue, yellow, purple, or orange, as well as mixed colors. Dyed horsehair is usually used in the production of various crafts and decorations and can also make the violin bow more personalized.
