Comment:
These bass bows are from the well-known
workshop of Lothar Seifert. Because
several bowmakers work on each step of the bowmaking
process the bows are considered 'workshop' bows
and are signed W. Seifert. All
the members of the Seifert family are certified
masters. Their workshop bows set the
standard for consistency in grading the sticks,
as well as best quality custom frogmaking (done
in-house), hairing, and fitting.
Seifert double bass bows consistently
draw a good, dark, rich orchestra sound,
and are well-known for
their similarity of character, tone production,
and playability.
For bass players who prefer
an octagon pernambuco stick, AB266G is the same
quality level as this round shaped bass bow.
If you have no preference for round or octagon
shape, please consider a bow trial of either one.
The round sticks
tend to be have a bit more mass so they produce
a dark, rich tone, but still have easy control
in the hand. The octagon
sticks are noticeably slimmer, produce
a clear ringing orchestral tone, and tend to be
a bit more agile in the spicatto.
Of course, W. Seifert Bass
Bows are available for In-Home, In-Studio
Bow Trial. Please call 1-800-246-2277.
Lemur's friendly Customer Service Reps can get
the bow of your dreams on its way to your doorstep.
