An Accessory Designed to Simplify Double Bassists' Lives
Essential when regularly moving a double bass, the Glasser wheel meets a simple need: gaining mobility without complicating instrument setup. Its principle is straightforward and effective: you remove the endpin, insert the wheel in its place, and your double bass becomes much easier to maneuver in hallways, on stage, during rehearsals, or when traveling between venues.
Intended Use and Type of Musician
This wheel is aimed at all double bassists, from beginners to professionals, whenever the instrument is frequently moved. It is particularly suitable for orchestra musicians, conservatory students, and jazz or contemporary music double bassists who juggle rehearsals, concerts, and urban travel. Usable with or without a case, it easily integrates into a transport routine, both indoors and outdoors.
Sound
The Glasser wheel has no direct impact on sound: it temporarily replaces the endpin only for transport. Once the wheel is removed and the endpin reinstalled, you regain the usual playing support and setup. The brake, however, provides a real safety advantage during breaks by reducing the risk of accidental movement when the double bass is parked vertically.
