Frequently Asked Questions
For what age or height is a 3/4 size double bass suitable?
The 3/4 size is the most common and is considered the standard "full size" for a double bass. It is generally suitable for players aged 13-15 and up, and for most adults of average height (approximately 1.60 m to 1.85 m). It offers the best combination of playability and volume for learning.
Does the double bass come adjusted and ready to play?
The instrument is delivered with a factory setup. However, as with most new bowed instruments, it may require some minor adjustments by a professional luthier to optimize the string height and bridge position according to the player's preferences, thus ensuring maximum comfort and sound quality.
What type of bow is included in the set?
This set includes a French system bow. The French style bow is held with the hand above the stick, similar to how a cello bow is held, and is one of the two most widely used bow styles in the world.
What basic maintenance does this instrument require?
Maintenance is simple. It is recommended to dust the instrument with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any rosin residue. It is important to slightly loosen the bow hairs when not in use to maintain their tension and shape. Storing the double bass in its case will protect it from bumps and environmental changes.
