Double bass

DOUBLE BASS

“… a person who has learned to play such a fundamental instrument can also be trusted to perform with a sharp ear and a clear mind.”

H.Schütz: Dresden 1636

We have designed our double bass gut strings with a sharp ear and a clear mind.

Since the string length (vibrating length of the string measured from nut to bridge) of individual instruments differs, the string thicknesses should be chosen according to the string length.

We produce special pure gut low A- and E-strings.

By combining the traditional rope production methods with string making techniques, we were able to create a significantly thickened string.

Our string is very flexible, produces an audibly clearer sound and reacts more quickly to the bow compared to a string that has been thickened less.

Our wound strings guarantee a new playing experience.

Winding:

-copper silver-plated, dark, warm sound

-copper, bright clear sound

Recommendation for playing at a frequency of A=415Hz. The following string sets are inspired by equal tension. If you would like actual Equal Tension, we will be happy to advise you.

SCHÜRCH-BRIDGE

For the fifths between the strings to be pure, the mass in the string must be evenly distributed. Gut is a natural product that can change through playing. With the Schürch bridge, you can reliably and easily check your string for fifths purity and correct it with fine sandpaper if necessary.Until the introduction of machine sanding, it was a matter of course for musicians to rework the string themselves. The awareness of the need for this has disappeared to this day.Re-sharpening the strings with the Schürch-Bridge is simple and uncomplicated and prolongs the playability of your string.Instruction
