The local fiddlers faire has said he will give me some ebony pegs and a tailpiece that I can use. Gut strings will be next then make a bow. How many horsehairs will be sufficient? 3/8” bundle? What wood works best for a bow? Bridge?
thanks for resizing, I was at a loss to explain.

it needs pegs, nut, tailpiece and bridge (they were broken). Finger board unglued. The top is cracked and coming unglued from body possibly from sound post being a little too tall. Someone put a lot of time hollowing body from one piece. I hope to repair using hide glue and making a horse hair bow. Winter project.

Hi folks, new to hobby. I found an unfinished rebec project at a yard sale. I realize this is an old thread but thought I might glean some advice from those more familiar with this instrument. If it gets some hits I’ll post some pics.
