Manchurian "LIVE"™ Bow Hair
This bow hair comes from the area formerly known as
Manchuria. It is now comprised of Mongolia, Inner Mongolia,
Northeast China and Liaoning Province, China. This is the
area where most of the animals live and work to this day.
Still a primarily agrarian society, the culture respects the
animals and treats them well.
(NOTE: I was the first bow hair
supplier to call my hair "Manchurian". I decided to
use that brand name after my first trip to the region in
2000. If you
would like to learn more about my travels, see pictures,
watch videos, please
contact me.
I have a presentation worked up for violin-making schools or
classes and am happy to share what I know with students and
customers alike.)

Manchurian Student's Hair
Our
Manchurian Student's Hair is a good alternative to "Mongolian" or "stallion"
bow hair typically sold through other Adam's Supplies companies. Sold by the
pound, it is excellent for any rehair job that requires a clean, white bow
hair. This hair is favored by shops that have large student rental fleets.

Manchurian LIVE™
 Manchurian LIVE™ is the only hair

Bow Hair for Vegans! Customers are
concerned that bow hair is a by-product of the slaughterhouse industry! Now
there is a bow hair for everyone.
Manchurian LIVE™ bow hair is only
available in one length because it has been removed from the animal while it
still lives. No larger size
bundles
are available at this time.
This hair is fantastic! Gorgeous to look at, supple, easy to work with,

I
have a personal relationship with the craftspeople who
prepare the hair products for the western marketplace. This
means I can offer unique hair products, customize bundle
lengths and weights and work closely with our customers to
provide hair that meets their needs. The hair is cleaned
with a mild detergent (no bleach), rinsed and dried in a
cool dark warehouse for several days, turned carefully and
by hand. The hair is then quickly sorted and combed (with
hackles), tied off in a bundle. The hair is then drawn,
butted off and tied into loose bundles.
