Bass The upright bass is a very valuable instrument to the bluegrass ensemble but it can be a somewhat misunderstood at times. While the electric bass guitar has been used in some bluegrass groups, the upright - or double bass is what's typical of the genre. Like other orchestral stringed instruments, basses come in fractional sizes. Unlike the violin counter parts, in the United States a "full-sized" bass is actually a 3/4 size bass. It is extremely rare to encounter even a 7/8 bass. In bluegrass music, the bass is traditionally played without a bow - by plucking the strings with bare fingers. It is well worth investing a little bit of money into having it set up by a professional as many of the more affordable options are shipped in less that ideal playing condition. Palatino VB-004 3/4 Size Upright Bass - This bass is made out of spruce and maple plywoods with ebony fittings. This is a great option for jam sessions where an instrument of this size is bound to take some bumps. The outline of this bass is gamba shape, rather than a violin shape. Again, the lack of delicate corners is helpful in crowded company.

< Back Mandolin With Bill Monroe being known as a mandolin player, it is an instrument that finds a welcome home in bluegrass jams. It serves as both a melody instrument and as an important rhythmic instrument. There are many different types of mandolins but due to their style of construction, there are two main types that tend to be used in bluegrass music - A-style and F-style. If you're just starting out, an A-style mandolin will offer higher quality at a more affordable price-point. The main thing to seek in a mandolin is solid wood construction. The top should be hand-carved solid spruce while the backs and sides should be solid maple. Additionally, a bluegrass mandolin should have f-holes as these add to the traditional sound. Left - Eastman MD605 - This model is several years old and there have been some cosmetic changes. It is made with a solid sprue top, solid maple back and sides, and ebony fittings as well as an internal pickup. Right - Eastman MD305 - This is Eastman's most affordable model and is well-loved. Although it comes with a matte finish - which is a little "loud" when it rubs - it can be buffed to a semi-gloss. *Not Pictured - Eastman MD315 - This is Eastman's most affordable F-style mandolin. Again, if money is a consideration, the A-style is the way to go. Other reputable entry brands are Kentucky , Gold Tone , and The Loar . Previous Next
