{"product_id":"gewa-archet-1-2-massaranduba-octogonal-242437","title":"1\/2 DOUBLE BASS BOW BRASIL WOOD JEKI","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA workshop-inspired aesthetic drawn from classical bows\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of an \u003cstrong\u003eoctagonal\u003c\/strong\u003e stick, an \u003cstrong\u003eebony frog\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a stylistic detail such as the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Parisian eye\"\u003c\/strong\u003e evokes the historical codes of bow making: sobriety, clarity, and finishes designed to last. The octagonal shape, often sought after for the sensation it provides under the fingers, gives a natural guiding feel, useful when working on precise string changes and gesture stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eimitation whale baleen ligature\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the same logic: to recapture the visual spirit of traditional fittings while remaining suited for modern use. The result is a bow with a classic style that fits naturally in an orchestra stand as well as in more versatile playing contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom and for what? A 1\/2 bow to learn and progress on the double bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 size\u003c\/strong\u003e, this bow is intended for double bass players using an instrument of the corresponding size (often in a young musician's curriculum, smaller build, or specific needs). It is particularly suitable for \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner to intermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e levels: the natural horsehair facilitates grip, and the octagonal stick helps \"feel\" the bow's orientation in the hand, which is valuable for establishing good technical foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding repertoire, it adapts very well to the needs of \u003cstrong\u003eclassical\u003c\/strong\u003e music (working legato, détaché, dynamics) and remains relevant for \u003cstrong\u003eversatile\u003c\/strong\u003e practices where a responsive and clear bow is sought. The goal here is not to overdo it but to offer a healthy response and consistent playing comfort to build tone and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a double bass bow, the \"sound\" directly depends on how the bow sets the string into vibration. The \u003cstrong\u003eWamara stick\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with an \u003cstrong\u003eoctagonal\u003c\/strong\u003e section, promotes a feeling of hold and direction: you gain stability during attacks and control in pressure variations, which helps achieve a more centered sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003enatural horsehair\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a firm grip, essential for quickly activating the string, especially in piano dynamics and heel attacks. The \u003cstrong\u003eebony frog with slide\u003c\/strong\u003e, in addition to comfort, contributes to precise tension adjustment: a well-adjusted tension improves flexibility, rebound quality, and sound continuity, while limiting unwanted noise caused by irregular grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo get the most out of the \u003cstrong\u003enatural horsehair\u003c\/strong\u003e, the most important accessory remains a \u003cstrong\u003edouble bass rosin\u003c\/strong\u003e suited to your playing style (more or less sticky depending on the season and desired response). A \u003cstrong\u003esoft cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e is also recommended to wipe the stick and limit rosin buildup after each session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWand material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMassaranduba\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edouble bass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eoctagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eWamara\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLigature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eimitation whale baleen\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrog\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eebony\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enatural horsehair\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEye\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eParisian eye\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gewa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358121152787,"sku":"242437","price":211.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/5b2a3639dc0e82be2f2dcc73d2881e2975ad9263_GEWA_36713.jpg?v=1787332526","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/gewa-1-2-double-bass-bow-brasil-wood-jeki-242437","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
