The German Style: A Historical Approach to Bow Hold
The "German" hold is one of the major traditions in double bass playing, especially prevalent in orchestras. This Pure bow follows this logic: a stable gesture, firm support, and a sense of control appreciated both in sustained dynamics and attacks.
Intended Use and Player
Designed for both amateur and professional use, this 4/4 double bass bow suits musicians seeking precision and comfort in classical, orchestral, or solo repertoire, with a grip consistent for those accustomed to the German style.
Sound
Brazilian wood promotes a rich and warm sound, with good ability to "grab" the string. The round stick contributes to an even weight distribution, useful for stabilizing the stroke, improving sound continuity, and gaining control during bow changes.
