Bass Endpin Adjustment

Adjust the endpin so  the bridge of the bass is on the same plane with the knuckles (2nd joint of finger - see image) of the students right hand. The important thing is not to set the bass too high. A bass set too high will cause the right elbow to bend too much, the angle of the bow to the strings will change, and ultimately, the result will be a poor sound.
