Double Bass C. Hans Karl Schmidt German Bow

[CaseyVancouver]

Here’s a bow made for a man of wealth and taste.

Chun - Shiang Chou, Taiwanese bassist, just took delivery of this fine bow. As Chun is not likely to post here I’ll do the honours.

Dresden archetier C. Hans Karl Schmidt German bow of the highest order, gold fittings, quality case. I was hoping Chun would reveal how it plays but he only told me it is 147g. Chun was a student of Ludwig Streicher in Vienna.

That's one fancy stick.

I wonder how many €s that set him back.

A little more info (sorry most of it is in German). The price is for a violin bow, so you can calculate from there. He is also the coauthor of two volume work on the history of German bow makers and making:

Something tells me YouTube's auto-translate function isn't quite there yet.
