Jeff Sahs Violins is a full service shop providing all of the following:

We carry only high quality horse hair for bow rehairing. Our shop is stocked with a variety of different grades and types of horse hair. This enables Jeff to fully cater to the different bow needs of violin, viola, cello, and especially bass players.

Black-popular with bass players for its aggressive attack on the string.

Salt and Pepper Grey-again popular with bass players, even, smooth playability.

Russian Red-strong fairly aggressive hair popular with bass players and fiddle players.

Mongolian White and Manchurian-your standard high quality while hair suitable for most player needs.

Siberian Stallion-highest grade of white horse hair which is preferred hair by soloists and professional musicians (added charge for this hair).

A large portion of shop work is doing setups. Setups are adjusting and tweeking the physical playability of an instrument, bridges/fingerboards, sound post-strings, pegs-all should compliment each other. It is amazing how many players have suffered for years on poor setups. Bass players are notorious for it. An instrument, be it entry or professional, should be enjoyable to play. The hard part should be the learning to play so practice, practice, practice.
