Violin Bow Brass Eye Replacement (Violin, Viola & Cello Bows)
This violin, viola or cello bow came into the workshop because the player was unable to increase the hair tension. I see this quite often, and there are several possible reasons for it. It can be due to poor adjustment, an issue in the original making of the bow, or simply because the player has not realised that the bow needs a rehair.
This cello repair involved resetting the neck but also a new fingerboard. Fingerboards can sometimes come unglued if the instrument has been store for a long period in less than ideal circumstances. As you can see in the picture there is cross hatching which helps add bite for the glue and hopefully keep that fingerboard in place!
