False. The bow hair can be horsehair but the strings are not.


What call the stick of violin?

I believe the violin stick you are talking about is called a bow. Usually bows are made out of wood and horsehair. When the horsehair is drawn across the string, the violin will produce sound (if rosin is on the horsehair). The wood of the bow basically keeps the horsehair tight and provides a place for the musician to grip the bow. I hope this answers your question.

Why is it bad to touch the horsehair on a bow?

It is bad to touch the horsehair on the bow because on your hand and fingers there is an oil and dirt and when that comes in contact with the horsehairs, it gets on it and then oil could change the hair and make it dirty which is not good. It also will make the horsehair not playable after time as well.
