Structural Changes in Cuticles on Violin Bow Hair Caused by Wear
2010
Bioscience, biotechnology and biochemistry
Preserved Fulltext
A bow with horse tail hair is used to play the violin. New and worn-out bow hairs were observed by atomic force microscopy. The cuticles of the new bow hair were already damaged by bleach and delipidation, however the worn-out bow hairs were much more damaged and broken off by force, which relates to wearing out.
