An Educational-Format Bow in the "French" Tradition
Designed to support learning, this double bass bow in the French model features a proven ergonomics, ideal for acquiring good technical reflexes from the early years. The 1/8 size maintains proportions consistent with a 1/8 double bass and avoids unnecessary strain caused by a bow that is too long or too heavy.
For Whom and What Uses?
This bow is primarily intended for beginners and young double bass players (music school, conservatory, home practice). It is well suited for fundamental bowing work: open strings, string crossings, détaché, first notions of legato and dynamics, both in classical repertoire and in contemporary music when bowing is required.
Sound Quality
The round ipe stick contributes to a healthy and predictable response: the bow "follows" the hand and helps stabilize the trajectory on the string. Combined with the natural hair, it promotes a consistent rosin grip, facilitating attack, bow continuity, and dynamic control, especially at slow speeds (sound work) as well as faster speeds (articulation).
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully exploit the potential of the natural hair, the use of double bass rosin is recommended, as well as a soft cloth to dust off the stick after playing and limit residue buildup.
