1/2 lb. Zarelon® FH Bow Hair
- Hair is impossible to break or stretch when playing. Never rehair again.
- Identical to traditional horsehair in appearance and touch. Continue using your favorite rosin.
- Dramatically increased rosin uptake and hair grip; players find tone is fuller, more consistent.
- Never fear aggressive, intense passages; focus on the music - not on breaking bow hairs.
- Master passages more quickly due to increased consistency of bow feel when practicing; edges always maintain sharpness, hair is always the same width.
- Zarelon ® FH uses fortified keratin with a novel tempered polyamide core, resulting in zero stretching. Hair is never artificially colored or bleached.
- Traditional horsehair is always washed with chemicals and bleached to remove urine, feces and other contaminants, making it brittle and weak. FH Is made with pure structural proteins, and never bleached, delivering a characteristic firmness and clarity.
-
The success of Zarelon results from the preparation of keratin with a higher molecular weight than untreated horsehair which dramatically increases yield strength. Untreated horsehair keratin is 44 to 66 g/mol. FH keratin has a molecular weight four times greater at 275 g/mol.
-
FH is unaffected by moisture, humidity, and temperature; the hair does not expand in the summer or contract in the winter. FH does not oxidize or attract finger oil.
- Any bow can be haired with Zarelon ® FH.
*Please note: Not a vegan bow hair. FH materials are ethically sourced from horse byproduct.
