Does a french bow get a louder sound or a German bow in double bass?

They are both used on the upright string bass. A French bow uses a grip similar to that of a cello, viola, or violin bow, with the hand resting on top of the bow and your palm facing downwards. The German bow is designed differently and uses a stronger grip, making somewhat of a fist and having your palm face upwards. Most bassists tend to use the German bow.

∙ 13y agoIn general, the instrument itself, the quality of the bow, as well as the location, speed, and pressure of the bow as applied to the string determine the volume of sound.
A good player can produce a loud sound regardless of the type of bow by manipulating these variables.

∙ 8y agoThe bassoon exists in two different systems, the French bassoon and the German basson (often referred to as the Heckel bassoon). These two systems differs in details which make quite a difference for the player, but perhaps not as much for the listener. Fingerings on many notes are quite different and the reed has to be made to a different shape. This makes it moderately difficult to switch between the systems. Today the German system is used in most of the world, although in a few countries the French system is still in use.

Why does a guitar string produce a louder sound if it is plucked harder?
the larger the amplitude at which something vibrates = the louder the sound. so by plucking a string harder, you're increasing the amplitude of the sound waves and thus increasing the sound volume

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".

if you have a sound and its not bothering you but if it comes louder and louder this is what you need 2 do you have to move an dmake sure you ears are not enfected ----
What is sound louder than?
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.
What makes a louder sound?
