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.
Choose the Right Stool: Take the height measurement of the bar and subtract 10â³ â that will be the approximate height of stool you should purchase. This will give you plenty of space to sit at the bar, with or without your legs crossed, and feel comfortable. To get the height of the stool, measure from the feet up to the seat. Counter height stool seats range from 24-29 inches from the floor and are perfect for kitchen counters or tables that are about 34-39 inches high.
