Making your own Tippers
Violin bow tippers
The tippers of choice for top
end players come from violin or cello bows. The key points here are that they
are thin and dense. Bows generally are made of a hardwood Rosewood or Pernambuco
(Thanks Marty :). A
cello or double bass bow will be thicker and heavier than a violin bow. Tipper diameters
range from 10mm to 6 and weights range from 7 or 8 grammes to over
20g

If you're anything
like me, you will have maybe hundreds of tippers that you will have bought and
made, all in the search for the 'one'.
Steafan Hannigan
says that we never really own tippers we only just borrow them for a while as
they always seem to disappear.
It's useful
therefore to look at the types of tipper that suit you and then to look at
variables within types. Because they are generally made of natural materials,
each tipper will have individual characteristics but there are several
guidelines which can help you weed through a pile of tippers and select those
which are most likely to suit your playing style(s) and your drum(s).
