Phyllis Irwin, Ed. D. /Preface
This manual was written to help stringed instrument players solve
the problem of bow rehairing. With the advent of the school orchestra
the problem has become increasingly difficult, especially for those
musicians who live a long way from large cities.
The manual has one objective — to instruct and guide the ama-
teur, so that by carefully completing each step he will be able to do
an entirely satisfactory job of bow rehairing.
The author acknowledges the invaluable instruction, received
many years ago, from Mr. Anton Voit and Mr. L. F. Geiger, of Voit
and Geiger, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. Also, the author acknowledges
the very understanding help from Mr. H. Benson of William Lewis and
Son, in Chicago.
This work is affectionately dedicated to the memory of Leroy F.
Geiger, who was a mastercraftsman, author, teacher, friend.
