Bow Hair Expansion 

Yeah…the audio in this one is terrible! So sorry. I have a new computer set up to record these and I obviously do NOT have the latency issues of recording sorted out. These are live sessions so…there’s no going back. My bad.
This week on Tech-Tip Tuesday, we talk about bow hair expansion and the two reasons it does so: 1) tension and 2) humidity which is most often overlooked as a major culprit to bow tensioning issues. We’ll discus how each can affect your bow and what you can do about it.
