Jaeger Atelier Pernambuco Double Bass Bow, German Style, 3/4 Overview

View this description in German

The Jaeger Atelier Pernambuco Double Bass Bow, German Style, 3/4 is an elegant piece of craftsmanship, ideal for professional musicians or advanced students. Hewn from beautiful Pernambuco wood, this bow features a traditional ebony frog, which offers increased durability, strength, and a time-honoured aesthetic. Pernambuco is the heartwood from a brazilwood tree - it is taken from the strong, aged, centre of the trunk. The rich, sonorous tone produced by a bow made from this kind of wood is highly sought after by professional double bass players.

For a quality sounding bow, there is no alternative to natural horsehair. This traditional material interacts with your instrument to produce an inimitable, classic tone. The hair is combined gorgeously in this piece with the expertly crafted round Pernambuco stick to produce a bow which sounds beautiful and is comfortable to play for extended periods. This exceptional quality 3/4-size German-style bow offers perfect balance, exquisite tones, and vintage styling.
