We know one double bass that had the same set of strings for over twenty years. Bows need rehairing from time to time, and need coarser hair than the others, but this should still not cost more than Â£15 - Â£20. Double bass bows need a special kind of rosin, coarser than that used by violinists or 'cellists.
By industry standards, the standard floor-to-countertop height is 36â (3â-0â). If you are remodeling your kitchen and buying pre-built base cabinets (34 Â½â standard), this will be the height they fit into by most manufacturersâ standards.
Counter-height tables and standard-height tables have their own physical dimensions and seating requirements that make each suitable for different dining events. A counter-height arrangement lends itself to more casual dining, while standard height works better for more formal occasions. The height of a standard table is between 28 inches and 30 inches and a counter-height table is usually between 34 and 36 inches high. Some counter-height tables, known as bar tables, are even taller at between 40 and 42 inches high. Sitting at standard-height tables is comfortable as people can reach the ground with their feet, while those at counter-height tables perch on stools or high chairs with their feet on the seat rails.
