Cleaning the bow rod from the bowed instrument

A rosin dust layer on the underside of the bow stick is often found if no attention is paid to cleaning the bow stick. If you clean the stick regularly with a suitable cloth, you can largely do without solvent. Simply wipe the stick with a cloth after each playing session.

Suitable cloths for the bow pole

Tightly woven cloths that do not have any material fibre residue are particularly suitable for removing rosin from the bow stick. Furthermore, suitable cloths are thin so that the bow hairs are not touched unnecessarily when wiping off the rosin dust. Fluffy cloths are generally not recommended, as residues of the cloth can remain. It is also recommended to wash the cloths regularly to wash out any rosin that has been removed from the cloth fibres.

Step by step

Take the bow on the frog in one hand and thread the cloth between the bow stand and the hair with the other. By tightening the cloth you get a contact surface. Now simply pull the bow back and forth or push the cloth back and forth along the bar.
