VT String Project Baby Basses!

Every player needs trusted rosin to allow the bow to pull out a beautiful sound! Did you know that bass rosin is very sticky? Don't leave it in the car on a hot day because it will melt!

Let's get tension on those strings! Did you know approx. 70-110 lbs of vertical pressure are applied by the strings onto the top of the instrument via the bridge?

The endpin is adjustable and helps put the bass at the right height for the individual player. Did you know that as a student grows, the endpin length is adjusted?

G, D, A, E — These are the string names on the double bass. Did you know the bass is the only orchestral string instrument tuned in 4ths?

The fingerboard is where we put our fingers to play different notes, melodies, and in the case of basses, often the baseline! Did you know that commonly, bass fingerboards are made of ebony, a very dense and hard tropical hardwood?

German or French, these are the two types of bows that bass players use! Did you know we are ordering German bows for these new "baby basses?"
