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.
Plan your cabinets. Standard counter depth is 25, which the cabinets themselves being 24 to allow for a 1 countertop lip. Standard counter height is 36, with the cabinets usually being around 34.5 tall to allow room for the countertop material. For upper (or wall) cabinets, add 18-20 to the 36 counter height. Any space left over between that distance and your ceiling is fair game for upper cabinets. The cabinet width can be anywhere from 12-60, but always should be made in 3 increments. The most common sizes are 15, 18, 21, and 24.
