Even in just the first 10 seconds of the video I can tell you: a truly handmade bow is carved octagonally using hand-planes, then planed further to be made round if that's what the maker/customer wants. Note: many of the great bows today are actually slightly more oval in the middle, but only slightly, you can't really notice it due to all the other curves and contours happening in the bow. The bend (known as the camber) that was pressed down by a machine in the video is actually [again] literally done by hand - the maker slowly bends the stick over a tall alcohol flame. It's more accurate this way because you can feel how the stick naturally wants to bend - you can feel, for example if it "wants to bend a lot to the left" in the top third of the stick and so you can heat that less or more and you can over-bend or under-bend areas too. Now back to the video to see if they actually do this!
I'm from Brazil and unfortunately, in addition to this wood, others of great importance for making musical instruments are heavily targeted by international trafficking.
I remember being a young child and seeing a violin bow for the first time. I was filled with awe and wonder. Seeing this video brings back that memory with a whole lot of respect for the makers.
Thank you, you are a skilled artist in fine craftsmanship. My dream was to know how to make a violin bow with horsehair. My father had a violin that he played and he inherited it from his grandfather. The violin is 150 years old. I was young, 10 years old. I remember him telling me: This bow is made from horsetail hair. Thank you. God is the one who allowed me to witness the excellent Japanese industry. Greetings to you from Syria, from Damascus, Jasmine. I am Mikhail Antoine Chata. I am now 67 years old. I hope you will visit our great homeland one day.
13:20 The caption says that the stick is heated to straighten it vertically, but this important step uses heat so that the bow can be bent into the proper curve. After the wood is hot enough to achieve the proper curve, the stick is removed from the heat and held in this curve until the wood cools, at which point the curve will remain in the wood. The curve adds stiffness and spring to the bow when the horse hair on a completed bow is tightened.
What meticulous and beautiful work to make this essential complement to the violin! Quel minutieux et beau travail pour fabriquer ce complément essentiel au violon ! このヴァイオリンを補完する重要な要素を作り上げるには、何と細心の注意を払って美しい作業が必要なのでしょう。
No, not those guys. The other guys made the specialized machines. The parts used to make the machines were made by another group of guys. One of those guys died recently, but he was replaced by another guy from another group of guys. So, yeah.
As I just posted in a reply below - Even in just the first 10 seconds of the video I can tell you: a truly handmade bow is carved octagonally using hand-planes, then planed further to be made round if that's what the maker/customer wants.

Guitarist Jimmy Page often used a violin bow to play guitar on some songs. The bows obviously didn't last long, he said he needed to buy a lot so he bought the cheapest ones available. They certainly weren’t from that brand 😁
An example of tradition outweighing utility: it would be perfectly possible to make a plastic bow with same flexibility and characteristics but traditionalists would say it didn't sound the same.
Ele errou, o nome dela é "Pau Brasil" e realmente é o melhor material para esse instrumento. Pernambuco é o estado em que era extraída a madeira na época do império.

То у вас в субтитрах речь идёт о смычке, то о луке. И текст титров у вас в одной фразе содержит помесь всех языков. Определитесь уже. И ещё: как-же великие итальянские скрипичные мастера, Амати, Страдивари, Гварнери обходились без вашей бразильской вашингтонской конвенции? И использовали лиственницу, ель, грушу и кавказский молочай. А теперь, пока на смычке не напишут имя старинного русского мастера Никодима Мадеинчина, играть не с руки?

Natural wood sounds still better and also hard to replicate it's playing qualities. There are some good quality carbon fiber bows made, but the price end up being still quite expensive for the quality suitable for professional use. Surely there is huge number of extremely cheap Chinese productions in both wood and carbon fiber. They are not that horrible actually though cannot compete with quality items....
Every soul will die. Whoever wants Paradise in which he will never die, let him enter Islam by the command of God Almighty, and believe in God alone, who has no partner. Jesus is the servant of God and His Messenger, Muhammad is the servant of God and His Messenger, Moses is the servant of God and His Messenger, our father Abraham is the servant of God and His Messenger, our father Adam is the servant of God and His Messenger, and all the prophets worship God. I advise him to be afraid of hellfire and I advise him to read the Holy Qur’an and the noble hadiths of the Prophet
