Solid construction
The nickel silver mountings look professional, and the ebony frog feels authentic. It doesn't have the projection of a pernambuco bow, but for Brazilwood, it punches above its weight class.

Perfect for beginners
My daughter just started learning double bass, and this bow is perfect for her. It's not too heavy, and the case provided is sturdy enough for school transport. Highly recommend.

Decent but needs rehairing soon
The bow itself is fine, but the hair seemed a bit sparse out of the box. After a month of daily practice, I had to get it rehaired. Once rehaired, it plays much better.

Surprised by the quality
I was skeptical about ordering a bow online, but this exceeded my expectations. The Brazilwood has a nice finish, and the screw mechanism works smoothly. Great backup bow to keep in the case.

Excellent value for a student bow
I bought this for my high school orchestra student. The balance is surprisingly good for the price point, and the horsehair grips the strings well. It produces a warm tone without being too scratchy.

Good German style option
The frog is comfortable for German grip players. The stick feels sturdy, though it took a little while to break in the hair. Overall, a solid choice for intermediate players on a budget.
Q: What is the total length of the bow?
A: The standard playing length for this double bass bow is approximately 71 cm (28 inches), which is standard for full-size bass bows.
Q: Is this bow suitable for a French grip player?
A: Yes, while the frog is shaped primarily for German grip, the balance and weight distribution allow French grip players to use it comfortably as well.
Q: Does the package include rosin?
A: Yes, every Buson Double Bass Bow comes with a cake of rosin and a protective hard case.
Q: Can this bow be rehaired?
A: Absolutely. The frog features a standard screw mechanism and eyelet, making it fully serviceable and ready for professional rehairing when needed.
Q: Is the stick straight or cambered?
A: The stick features a traditional round shape with a moderate camber designed to provide flexibility and responsive bounce.
