Hello all.

Just sent my bow for a rehair, black.

All things being equal, would you let the bow maker prime the hair (for example with power rosin) or does it makes more sense to use your own bass rosin from the get go?

I’m using Oak Rosin, Soft and Medium. I also have a cake of Nyman.

For the lucky ones – what would Sue Lipkins do? On Oak Rosin’s Testimonial page, she says - "...grips the string superbly well and makes breaking in new hair a dream.", but I wonder if she primes new hair with something else…

Thanks in advance for your input.

Cheers,
Cham.
