Don Reinfeld, Bow Maker |
| ...Yet another proud member of the reality-based community. Greetings, and welcome! I make custom, handmade modern and baroque bows for violin, viola, cello, and bass; and I provide a complete bow repairing, restoring, and rehairing service offering the finest Argentine and Mongolian horsehair. I've maintained a bowmaking studio for 32 years, first in Buffalo, and then since 1978, in Rochester, New York. "I'm working my way through your very informative articles under All About Bows. Bow-making is a fascinating subject -- and much more is involved than I realized." Charles Honeywell, violinist, Rochester, NY Whether you're an active string player, or someone who just appreciates classical music, please read about, and consider contributing to IPCI, the International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative. Because of the virtual elimination of the coastal rainforests of Brazil's Mata Atlantica, the only place in the world where this wood grows successfully, traditional bowmaking cannot survive unless everyone using and making bows gets involved in the responsible management of these lands. |
