Unknown Violin Bow - Need Help Identifying...

[SoulReap199]

I have been playing for this bow for quite some time now and it needs rehairing, does anyone know if it's worth rehairing and any details that may be related to the quality (wood type, maker, etc.) The photo of the middle part of the bow shows a weird dark lump in the wood, looks swollen and the spot is elevated.

A basic basil wood student bow.

You can try some bows which cost as much as a rehair and see if you like any of them better.

One thing to consider though is that a rehair usually gives you a better quality hair than what would be on a new entry level bow. So a rehair would be an upgrade.

I wouldn't worry about the dark spot.

Thanks so much!
