Who We Are


Pegasus Bows is an American company operating out of Northeast Ohio. 

Our principal has spent years in professional lutherie and is an active cellist and multi-instrumentalist. We maintain a working shop, serve a local and national customer base, and hold ourselves to the standards we learned from the tradition — because we live inside that tradition.

Bow making is one of the most refined crafts in the history of Western instrument culture. The vocabulary it generated — response, weight distribution, camber, stick flexibility, the behavior of the hair under sustained pressure — is not incidental. We use that vocabulary because we work within it. Our customers play at levels where these distinctions are not abstract, and we take that seriously.

Every bow we ship has passed through a luthier's hands — not a warehouse quality check, not an algorithm. We play them. We flex them. We know the difference between a stick that will serve a serious player and one that won't, and we don't send the latter.

Our customers are music teachers, conservatory students, orchestral players, and serious amateurs who have played enough bows to know immediately if something is wrong. That's exactly the kind of customer we want — because that accountability keeps us honest. We are not trying to sell to someone who won't notice. We are trying to earn the trust of someone who will. 

Questions about a specific bow? About your playing level, your instrument, what stick weight or flexibility might suit you?

Pegasus Unbreakable Bow Hair - One Pound - for Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass

$545.00
By Pegasus Bows
One Pound of Pegasus BioComposite regenerated horsehair
  • Hair is impossible to break or stretch when playing. 
  • Easier to rehair than traditional horse hair; rehair process is the same.
  • Looks and feels identical to traditional horse hair. Can be easily restored to new with cleaning.
  • Identical to traditional horsehair in appearance and touch. 
  • Dramatically increased rosin uptake and hair grip; players have found the tone more consistent, more reliable and stronger.
  • Pegasus Hair is a reinforced keratin biocomposite derived from horsehair; the enhanced mechanical properties of fortified horsehair result in zero stretching or breaking while playing and a characteristic firmness and clarity of tone.
  • Pegasus Hair Is never bleached or dyed; traditional horsehair, however, is always washed with poisonous chemicals and bleached to remove urine, feces and other contaminants - part of why its so brittle and weak. 
  • Pegasus Hair is unaffected by moisture, humidity, and temperature; the hair does not expand in the summer or contract in the winter. Pegasus BioComp does not oxidize or attract finger oil.
