I bought this bow to play vibraphone and crotales. And it feels and looks great for my use. You could go for a bit smaller bow, but I adjust the angle of the bow so fewer hairs are in contact with the instruments to make a "thiner" sounds when required. Good buy for percussionist, seems solid.

As a beginner upright bass player (playing with amateur ensembles) I started with a French bow. I wanted to try the German bow to see how I got on with it, without spending a load of money. After a couple of days use I am getting familiar with it. The German bow feels much lighter than the French bow that came with my current (borrowed) Gewa bass. This is probably a cost thing, but for £100 I am happy to now have a German bow as well a good French bow. If I stick with the German bow, and once my playing improves, I can always upgrade. Pros: The bow is the same length as my French bow and the width of the hair is about the same. Price is low enough to try and see how I get on with it Cons: The hair feels a little thinner - like there are fewer hairs, and not the same quality. The...

As an untrained electric upright bass player I bought this bow made by NS to go with my NS bass. It’s carbon fibre so it’s nice and light. I’ve never used a wooden bow so I’ve nothing to compare it to. However it works perfectly well so I don’t think I need to compare it to anything. It does the job and it does it well so I would recommend it for use with any upright bass.

This bow is well made and plays well. All parts of it are good quality. Cannot fault it and therefore recommend it to all players of 1/2 and 1/4 size double basses. It may be more used as a backup/practice bow for advanced players. But it's certainly a very good bow for beginners and intermediate players.

I am delighted with the Dorfler D6 ? bass bow. I read two reviews and used the compare function available. Initially I noticed a broken bow hair. The word Brazil was on the bag label so I am uncertain about the wood. The sound is amazing. I have been playing with French bow for over twelve years and have found the quality of sound more like a cello. With this bow the sound has a richer depth and louder volume which will be an advantage for my orchestral playing. The sound is inspiring me with the bow hold and arco/ pizz. changes.

I am no bow expert, and have only just switched to German style from French, for reasons of less shoulder tension. I chose this model as I figure the more I can afford, the more room for my improvement without limitations from the bow. Of course this is not really expensive for a bow, but then I'm only amateur. The bow looks very elegant, and seems to be well crafted. The stick is straight, the frog comfortable and well-aligned, and the hair is good after a liberal first rosin. It is stamped with the name G. Werner, I am not sure of the relevance of this to the Dorfler company. Anyway, after rosining up, the bow seems to be playable and the sound is musical, I feel that my skill is more a limiting factor than the bow, so that's positive. Happy to continue my learning the German bow with this.

Good for beginners to intermediate bass players. Bow total length: 72.5 cm Length of the working hair area: 57.5 cm (These are the parameters of my bow! You may have differences) It is of medium weight, not to say that it is too light or too heavy.

Choosing a bow is highly subjective and also depends on the instrument you're playing. I decided to buy this bow and give it a try without trying it first. I liked its balance and feel, it improved my sound on the instrument, especially with capotasto, giving me clear and balanced tones that I could not have with my previous carbon bow. The woods seems great (I'm not an expert). The only thing I would recommend is changing the stock bow hair, which wore out quickly.

This is fine for a beginner. It is practical and sensible andreasonably well made. Just accept the fact that one day soon you will want a better Bow than this. A Carbon Fibre bow is probably your next step after this before you spend a small fortune on a quality wooden Bow. I dont regret buying this bow and I keep it as a spare but it doesn't give me joy.

Il tessuto elastico che dovrebbe tenere chiuso il contenitore per pacchetto in realtà è arrivato già rotto nel senso che non aveva tensione ma per quattro euro cosa ci si aspetta di più. Quanto basta per riporre un pacchetto insieme ad altri pacchetti senza che si sporchino o si graffino.
