Does anyone know of a place to get a good bow rehair in Dallas? The place I've been going to is really far off and I'd like to find a closer place.
Thanks!
Hey Candace,
there is also:
J & A Beare Violin Dealers
Dallas, Texas
Phone: (214)521-6778

Jay Rury and Wayne Burak (next to Arlington Stadium) (817) 801-6700 are both very good.
hope this helps.

Dallas is a pretty big place... I'm in Plano, and there are two good luthiers nearby who do a good job of rehairing. Muse Music at Parker and Independence (behind Half-Price Books), and Cadenza Violins at Coit and Legacy (near Sprouts).
Hi, Candace. I've had good success with J & A Beare (Oak Lawn area) and Jay Rury (in Richardson). Good luck!

Ha! I just looked at the old responses, and I see that Beare and Jay have already been recommended. And yes, Wayne Burak is good, too. Please note that Jay Rury has recently moved his business to Richardson; the address on E. 10th St. mentioned in a previous response is no longer valid. See http://www.ruryviolin.com/
Beare's no longer does any repairwork in Dallas and actually never did bow rehairs in the past. They recommended Michael Sherrif. The ph # I have is 817-419-0353. He apparently used to work in the Salchow shop in NYC.
Moot point, I suppose, but Beare's in Dallas did rehair my bow on several occasions in the past.
Mike Sherrif does amazing/quality bow rehairs. He has been rehairing my bows now for ten years. He works in Arlington at the Mr. E's Music store on Cooper and Arbrook, right across from the Parks Mall.
You should give Joshua Waybright a call or email. He is in Allen and does really good work. joshua@jhstrings.com or 972-747-8270.
I have used Joshua in the past and I really like his work.
I highly recommend Joshua Waybright for all violin/bow needs. He is a luthier and master restorer who used to work for Beare's and now has a business of his own. His bow rehair as well as all kinds of violin and bow repair/restoration are simply superb. Besides being a top-notch expert in the field, he loves what he does and has vast knowledge. He is incredibly honest and provides fantastic quality at most reasonable fees.

I second the recommendation for Mr. Waybright! My teacher (who lives in Virginia) trusts only Mr. Waybright with her fiddle/bows!
My name is Vincent J Lour Blanc. I am back in the Dallas area and I am doing bow re-hairs and repairs.I have the finest horse hair I can buy and offer prices that are lower than other shops. I hae done bow work at Williamson Music, Wayne Burak and Assoc., Brook Mays Music, and for myself for over 22 years. I can graft and repair tip damage and other complicated repairs. I can re-camber any bow. I am also a bow maker. You can find my website at: www.oldworldtradingco.com or call me at 214-636-8766
I re-hair bows that are mailed to me in bulk quantity. Thank You
