| Lemur Sells the "W Siefert" workshop bows:
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 round pernambuco stick, AB255F is the same quality level as this octagon 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 noticably slimmer, produce a clear ringing orchestral tone, and tend to be a bit more agile in the spicatto. |
