Pernambuco Upright Bass Bows

Like our very own Brazilwood upright bass bows, we now offer the very same models in pernambuco wood.  Only the best and finest bows are made from pernambuco and we personally hand pick and buy our raw bow blank stock from Canadian bass bow maker, Mr. Reid Hudson.  The quality, workmanship and playability of our pernambuco bass bows is unrivaled in this price range.  While the materials make the bows more expensive, they compare to bows that are much higher in price (looking in the $1,500-2,500 range). ** Special note for all of our pernambuco bows here:  Call us and tell us more about what bass you play, strings and what your goals are with the bow.  That can make a real difference in which bow we choose for you!  Email us here.  Price of any pernambuco bow here $750.  Customers can also take advantage of our special packaged deal when buying one of our pernambuco bows. 

French upright bass bows:

The Francois Tourte model, French style, perambuco upright bass bow, is in the round style and is 67.5 cm. long. They average around 135 grams.  The bow is made and finished in the traditional Tung-oil with good, faux English whale-bone wrapping, with solid one-piece silver adjusters (some come with 3 piece sliver-ebony-silver buttons). $770.  Again, price includes a fiberglass bow case and choice of rosin. (for rosin choices, see the Upright Bass Bows page again.) Also, on the Tourte model here, notice the "squareness" of the frog whereas the Peaccatte has a more rounded style.

The Charles Peccatte, French style, pernumbuco upright bass bow is a slightly shorter than the Tourte bow at around 66cm. These bows are special with their cross section, elliptical shape and are probably our most popular model French upright bass bow.  They average around the same weight of about 134-136 grams. $770.  The Peccatte model shown here has a more rounded frog and a beautiful curly grain.

German upright bass bows:

Here is the H.R. Pfretzchner pernambuco German style bow upright bass bow.  We copied these exactly like the originals: Elegantly rounded ebony frogs that fit in the the hand, purposely done in the plain (without a pearl dot or eye) and like the original Pfretzschner. No wrapping used on these bows either.  Same tung-oil finish, with a long, ebony adjuster. $770.
