The Bass bows

Make your bass sing!

Our revolutionary bass bows can pull a sound so rich and warm from your bass you would never have expected. The hollow built shaft can vibrate much easier than any solid stick possibly could, which results in a rapid response and beautiful, carrying and powerful sound.

With only some minor adjustments in the bow hold and a short "experimental" period you will never again want to go back to a traditional bow, whatever the material and design.

We make our Bass bows both in German and French style - each in three different categories. The Concerto are preferred by players with a demand for ultimate performance, especially for solo performance. The Sinfonia is a great tool for orchestral work. The Veloce features a slightly more flexible stick and a darker sound, making it one of the easiest playing bass bows ever.

Besides their playing and sound qualities their total reliability and high-class workmanship are highly valued by their owners.

The sticks of the Concerto and Sinfonia bows are of the same design, classified for their resonance. They are both sterling-silber-mounted. The Veloce is mounted in nickel-silver but also has a solid sterling-silver tip-plate.
