Re-hairing a renaissance bow?

Hi all,
I'm just wondering how hard/expensive it is to rehair a bow myself. This is a renaissance viola da gamba bow, probably student grade.

Thanks,
Charlie

Guitar appraisals in Canada?

Hi all,
Andreas Barth's widow is trying to get some of his (Willow Guitars) work appraised in Canada. She says most shops there (as in the US) don't want to do appraisals for custom guitars. Any suggestions?

Re: How to mark HD bridges

I have a couple of HDs and neither of them has markings. My teacher never said anything about adding markers either. However, I did run across this pdf, and looking at page 10, there is a reference for adding markers at the root of the common major scales. https://www.westcoastharps.com/uploads/2/3/...

Re: Capped double reed instruments

It was an 18 oz cup, so rather big. Perhaps too stiff?

Re: Capped double reed instruments

Well, it's from a plastic Dixie cup instead of a yogurt cup. It is starting to make some noise but it's kind of hit or miss.
