Bazin - French Style Double Bass Bow - # 2542 |
|||
| An unbranded French silver mounted bow circa 1920 emanating from a member of the Mirecourt based Bazin family or their workshops. Coming in at 143 grams with only a whalebone and tinsel-thread lapping, this is a true heavy weight in terms of bass bows. In this bow the weight is a true asset. There is a feeling of great balance, so really all you have to do is just let the weight of the stick do all of the work. You'll be absolutely astounded by how much more volume and quality of sound this bow will produce. Previously owned by a London professional, this bow will do all of the off-string stuff with ease. For smashing out Brahms and Bruckner symphonies it's really the ultimate. Despite a strip of ebony (A "cheval" as it is called is a method of repair for damage to the wood below the bottom slide.) fitted to the top of the frog in appearance there is little to suggest that there is anything different from when it was new. If you are considering the profession, Tony Houska, director of The Contrabass Shoppe advises, "If you want to be a professional do yourself a favour and get some proper gear that will do the job".
