How to change the strings on a double bass.

 Hi.

The first thing is to know what a double bass looks like.

For example, this is a spanner and not a double bass.

Secondly, you'll have to buy some double bass strings.

If you don't know where to buy double bass strings, you probably haven't got a double bass, so just carry on with your life.

Except for its tuners, which are more mechanical, changing the strings on a double bass shouldn't be too hard for anyone who has changed violin strings, so just read my last post. Mind you, the strings will take quite a bit longer to wind up.

Good luck.

Bye.

Is there a triple bass?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

It's called the double bass because, in Classical times, its job was often to double cello lines an octave lower.

Did you know that there is an octave lower violin? That's true! There are special strings that sound an octave lower. I played with one on Sunday. See what you miss when you're at mass.

The spanner depicted in this post is apt as it's associated with nuts.

Ah, so you don't have nuts? Explains a lot.

The Curmudgeon has made a statement.
Note him.
It appears he's two things short.
No scrotum.

Are you still winding up those strings?
Better that than winding up your fellow bloggers. Mind you, that spanner would come in handy when throwing it in the works.

You're becoming a bit of a spanner crank.

That octave lower violin would be interesting.
Yesterday I saw a double bass about the size of a cello, in a 12 year old's bedroom.

What were you doing in a 12 year old’s bedroom?
