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.

True or false a violin string made out of horsehair?
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.

How do you apply rosin to a violin bow?
Community Answer 1If you have not used the rosin on your bow before, take a nail file and file the top of the rosin down so that it looks a bit scratchy. Then run the scratchy side of the rosin up and down the horsehair of the bow in long even strokes. You know you have enough rosin on your bow when you draw the bow across the string and it leaves a white rosin trace. Remember to wipe off your strings with a towel when you're done playing to keep the rosin from building up. When applying rosin to the string do not touch the horsehair with your hand because the oils from your hand will ruin the horsehair if you touch it too much.______________________________Community Answer 2Only poor quality or old rosin needs to be scratched before use. I would recommend that having a clear tone tells you when you have enough rosin, if you go as far as leaving rosin dust on the string, you definitely have enough.
