Where can I get a new violin bow?

Replacing or repairing it will depend on the value of the bow. If it is worth less than $50 then replace it as a rehair worth getting done will cost around $35 or more. If they charge less than that, I guarantee they will do a crappy job. If you opened the case and found lots of loose hairs, especially ones that are broken, it sounds like you had bow bugs get in your case, the hairs don't just fall out on their own if not under tension - http://violininformation.webs.com/instrumentsandbo...

The violin may very well need some gluing, the bridge replaced and if the instrument has been stored for a long time, it should have new strings installed. Most music stores carry bows, but if you want it checked to see if it is worth repairing, go to a violin shop as most music stores don't do bow rehairs in house anyway. The violin shop will also have a better selection of bows to choose from.

Well I play violin three/4 measurement (lovely small lol) however the horse shouldn't be honestly harmed on this procedure. What they do to make the bows is when the horses tail or usually the mane will get too long they reduce the additional hair off. Then they bleach the hair to make it white. I don't suppose it has something to do with being a vegan, I believe it's ok. Hope this helps! P.S. You regularly already know this but for your bow don't contact the hair due to the fact the grease/moisture in your hands get on it so the bow will not work.

You don't need a new bow - you need to have your bow "re-haired". Any music store that deals in bowed stringed instruments can do it for you - cost will be $25-75 depending on the bow and the hair the shop has on-hand. It's usually not a big job.

If the instrument has been sitting in the case with the strings loosened, I GUARANTEE you it needs to be set-up from scratch - not "just tuned". You'll get considerably more money for it if you have it set-up and made playable before you try to sell it. Again - any good shop can do that for you. Good luck.

On the bow there should be a little like knob/screw type thing... if you tighten that, then the strings should tighten a bit too. If that doesn't work, look up a close instrument store near you and buy a new bow, it shouldn't cost too much. If you don't want to do that either just sell the violin without it's bow.

Any violin that's been in a closet for several years probably has plenty of problems that you can't see.

You can get a new violin bow from any string dealer.
