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

"squareness" of the frog whereas the Peaccatte has a more rounded
style.

The Charles Peccatte, French style, pernumbuco

and a beautiful curly grain.
