I have played violin for many years. So it was natural for me to use a french bow. After I tried a german bow I was sold to it. I have bought a carbonfiber bow, and it works finr.

Double Bass French bow with a German grip?
- Thread starter A. Munk

Sorry I was too fast. No I used french grip, holding the bassbow almost like the violinbow. However I could'nt get a proper tone so my luthier persuaded me to try a carbonfiber german bow. It works very fine for me. It is easier to play forte with the german bow.
