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.
Most countertops are 36 inches high and will accommodate bar stools, or chairs that are slightly higher than dining chairs. A comfortable clearance for people's knees below these countertops is 15 inches. Stools for raised 42-inch countertops are usually between 28 and 30 inches tall, giving a comfortable 12 to 14 inches of knee room. The recommended counter overhang also varies with the counter height, with experts suggesting 15 to 18 inches for the lower counter and 12 inches for a raised counter. Whatever height counter you have and whichever kind of seating, allow at least 24 inches of space between each seat for your guests' comfort.
