What is the difference between the two styles of the double bass bow?

Generally, there is only one style of large and medium violin bows. They are all traditional French bow styles, while the double bass bow is quite special. There are two styles, one is called French style, and the other is called French style. Called German style (pictured).

The French-style double bass bow is like an enlarged cello bow, while the German-style bass bow has a slightly different shape and structure from the bow head and the ponytail. The German-style bow looks a bit like the old-style Baroque bow. Because the height of the ponytail is more than one-half of the French bow, the German double bass bow has a larger space between the shaft and the bow hair, and the size is slightly longer than the French bow, and the overall weight is slightly heavier.

Due to the different structures of the two bows, their playing methods are also very different. They have different bow holding methods. The German bow holds the back of the bow, while the French bow holds the back of the bow. Since the double bass was evolved from De Gamba in the Baroque period, the German bow will be closer to its original matching Baroque bow. Therefore, some people think that the mainstream large bass bow is still German. The main type of bow.

In addition, the German-style bow can provide more uniform force and is more comfortable to use in the band. However, some people think that the idea of using a bow in a band is wrong, because nowadays, both solo and band have people using two styles of bows.

Which style of bow the performers use depends mainly on the way they learn and teach. Dating back to half a century ago, due to the lack of faculty, the bass performance teachers of some colleges and universities were transferred from cello teachers to teach, and some professional orchestras also allowed some cello players to switch to la bass when expanding the band structure.

As far as we know, some double bass players can accept and use two different styles of double bass bows. But generally speaking, Chinese professional orchestra performers and students from professional colleges are increasingly choosing German bass bows.
