Double Bass French Bow - G.B. Bows Artisan Model - Pernambuco - Silver Mounted

This bow has been made specifically to be aimed at professionals on a budget

This Bow has been made to specification, taking elements from master makers and combining them into one bow to give the characteristics professionals need from a Bow to earn a living on. The intention is to give as good bow as possible for an affordable price.

It takes inspiration from Vigneron with its D shaped stick which gives you the happy medium between a stiffer octagonal stick and the flexibility of a round stick allowing you to have characteristics of both.

Similarly, for comfort the frog has been narrowed in the style of Percival Bryant to give the player a more comfortable hold in the hand a feature that really makes it feel good under hand.

The head height (referenced from Sartory and ouchard) along with the camber have been chosen specifically to allow the bow to play very well off the string, allowing the right tension of hair and clearance to the stick balancing the stick whilst still keeping the weight to 132 g so that it does not tire the hand over long relentless concert schedules something that is favoured by players of lighter Bazin Bows.

As the intention is to bring a high-quality bow for players, the bow is fully silver mounted and is probably one of the most affordable silver mounted bows on the market.
