      Even in just the first 10 seconds of the video I can tell you: a truly handmade bow is carved octagonally using hand-planes, then planed further to be made round if that's what the maker/customer wants. Note: many of the great bows today are actually slightly more oval in the middle, but only slightly, you can't really notice it due to all the other curves and contours happening in the bow.
      The bend (known as the camber) that was pressed down by a machine in the video is actually [again] literally done by hand - the maker slowly bends the stick over a tall alcohol flame. It's more accurate this way because you can feel how the stick naturally wants to bend - you can feel, for example if it "wants to bend a lot to the left" in the top third of the stick and so you can heat that less or more and you can over-bend or under-bend areas too.
      Now back to the video to see if they actually do this!

    I did not know how complicated it is to create a bow. I was fascinated by the precision of each craftsperson's gestures. The painstaking work certainly creates a work of art. Couple that with the skill of violin makers, then composers and musicians, (& of course the passion of listeners!) and you have humans at the most beautiful of coming together. Very well made documentary. Thank you.

    Thank you, you are a skilled artist in fine craftsmanship. My dream was to know how to make a violin bow with horsehair. My father had a violin that he played and he inherited it from his grandfather. The violin is 150 years old. I was young, 10 years old. I remember him telling me: This bow is made from horsetail hair. Thank you. God is the one who allowed me to witness the excellent Japanese industry. Greetings to you from Syria, from Damascus, Jasmine. I am Mikhail Antoine Chata. I am now 67 years old. I hope you will visit our great homeland one day.

    A friend of mine had a $130K violin and bought a $30K bow. One day he was playing with some "vigor" and such the bow tip into the F-hole and straight through the side of the violin. He was heartbroken, but it turned out the repair was less costly than he thought.

    ヴァイオリン🎻の弓のどのパーツか、わかるけれどどうやってつくるのか、どんな名前なのか知らなかったことが知れてよかったです。職人さんいつもありがとうございます。
    こうやって作られた弓も、毛はすぐに傷んでばらばらにきれてしまうし、手元の皮は傷んで摩耗するし、弓のシャフトの部分も作曲家の指定する奏法によっては傷みます。
    そうすると工房で定期的にメンテナンスするわけですが、ここでも同じようなことが行われます。やっぱり職人さんに感謝です。

    13:20 The caption says that the stick is heated to straighten it vertically, but this important step uses heat so that the bow can be bent into the proper curve. After the wood is hot enough to achieve the proper curve, the stick is removed from the heat and held in this curve until the wood cools, at which point the curve will remain in the wood. The curve adds stiffness and spring to the bow when the horse hair on a completed bow is tightened.
