Today, Paesold is respected throughout the world for high-quality bows. From moderately priced items upwards, each bow is individually made within the Paesold workshops. All are made from traditional materials which have stood the tests of time and are the work of craftsmen to whom the secrets to the enigma of a fine bow are well known.
Pernambuco is a particular tree of the Brazilwood family that is traditionally prized for bow making; it's more expensive to obtain, so a genuine Pernambuco bow is often also more expensive. That said, prices on Pernambuco bows can be all over the place; there are much cheaper ones to be found on auction sites, and they are much more expensive. Pernambuco bows are available from other shops. As with most anything, it's not just the base materials but quality and craftsmanship that matter. Your bow is as much a musical instrument as your bass is.
Animato strings provide a better quality bow at a fair and reasonable price. These bows are considered 3/4 size (though be aware that there are no strict rules on sizing). The French bow is 27¼ inches end to end, with about a 21-inch hair length. The German bow is 30 inches end to end, with about a 22 3/8 inch hair length.
