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: The standard is 34 - 36. But this can vary even more based on your size and preferences. The diagram above shows how to determine comfortable work surface heights based on measuring down from your elbow. Counter Depth: The standard is 24. But again, this can vary based on your size, appliance depths, and details of the backsplash and cabinetry. Upper Cabinet/Shelving Clearance: The distance from the countertop to the upper cabinets or shelves should be 15 - 20. Any lower and you'll impede on work space.
