Such a beautiful process, thank you for using such detail, I’m beginning the process of refinishing my bass haven’t been able to find too many resources, how long does it need to dry between each coat?

Travai beau et soigneux bravo maestro

I’m not sure I understand why this step was done. Was it just for reinforcement or some other reason?

EYE NEED ENCOURAGED I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW AND CANT FIND A UPRIGHT DOUBLE BASS CAN . CAN I ASK WAY THEY CANT MAKE A DOUBLE BASS KIT ALL THE PARTS PRESHAPED PRE-CUT (IT DONT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST I NEED SOME ONE TO HELP ME OUT I CAN BELLD . THANK YOU R.SAVAGE

Yay! Sounds lovely

Thanks Master.Cheers from Iceland.

Dear Professor Thomas, Thank you very much for your very interesting and useful lecture. In addition, I would like to hear your opinion on resolving the main problem with the French bow-the reduction of natural weight as you move towards the tip of the bow. Some professors advise compensating for this loss of weight by physically pressing the bow into the string, which negatively affects the quality of sound and causes natural physical fatigue. However, there is another way to avoid this problem. As you move the bow towards the tip, the wrist turns counterclockwise, causing the elbow to rise. With the elbow raised, the natural weight of the right arm increases, and no physical effort is required. On the return movement towards the frog, the wrist turns clockwise. The natural weight of the arm decreases, and unwanted crescendos are avoided. Moreover, this technique helps in making inaudible bow changes. I would greatly appreciate your response, as Your opinion is very important to me. Thank you. Sincerely, Vladimir

Thank You so much, Professor Thomas! You really helped me understand the nature of vibrato technique in positions above the seventh. I have a question: what do you think about Rinat's idea of turning the wrist counterclockwise when vibrating with the first finger in lower positions, and turning the wrist clockwise when vibrating with the fourth finger, while simultaneously lifting the first finger as you do in the video? Thank you very much for the invaluable information!

God, that last bass…..

What is that piece she starys with? Heard it, can't name it???

Damn. He’s as beautiful as those basses!🤯

This is a five-string bass - not very common, but very handy for doubling cello lines in classical music.

very nice bass bravo

Not a single note?

Maybe the price of the old instruments has something to do with folks buying modern instruments!!

Nothing beats watching a skilled craftsman at work. This series is amazing.

Espetacular!!

watched this a few times, it never fails, a gift, thank you

Hmm poplar back, violin shape and round back .. I played a Busan once (Owned by a teacher of mine, who kindly let me play the bass for an hour) and it was very similar to this bass... the darn thing played it's self! The only time I could go to lessons and play better than on my own instrument. What they say about old Italian instruments is all true!

Amazing

This Is Gold!!! And i thought the last video i watched was the best... This one just topped it... im looking at some Neck reworkings. And this video just opened my eyes a bit.. 🤘

One of my Favorite Videos!!!

Excelent Master! 😊

Does anybody know what this music is? I cannot find it searching Isabella Stewart Gardner, only museum website. Thanks.

Скажите, корпус больше, чем 4/4?

just the motivation i needed

now i know how to deal with my cello thank you so much

Great looking Gasparo Da Salo double bass! Is this by chance a Bela Racz made instrument? I look forward to hearing it...I wonder if Tom did a demonstration video of this particular bass? Thank you and I love the channel!

Beautiful

Such a good overview of some of our problems as bass players, and what a wonderfull right arm technique! Happy to know about Mr. portnoi book, very interesring!

Thanks for these videos! I'm glad someone else mentioned the bow grip as a lever. The German bow grip is a class I lever, where the fulcrum (the fingers in the frog, with the first finger on top) is between the effort (the crook of the thumb joint pushing up) and the load (the hair pressing down on the string). The French bow grip is a class III lever, where the effort (first finger pressing down) is between the fulcrum (the thumb in the frog) and the load (hair pressing down on the string). Perhaps it's worth mentioning that a class I lever is more efficient. The mechanical advantage is more than 1. With the class III lever, the mechanical advantage is less than 1.

Wouw! Lovely!

What is that tiny hand planer called that you were using to finetune the fit of the bridge feet ? The itty bitty brass looking one held in fingers

Und???Wagner -Valkyrie,erste seite😂😂😂

Impressive!

Beatiful double bass

Very useful George! Thanks. Was oreintating for a 3/4. Have now a 4/4 but expect the new car to have less space. Also that is a factor. Checking of the same brand. Will see if that means "The 3/4 model is taking less space in all its dimentions". Thanks :)

……… fantastisch, hier sieht man wie viele Schritte am Steg und an der Stimme für einen schönen Klang notwendig sind! Gratulation für dieses schöne Video das durch den Mozart wunderbar ergänzt wird!❤❤

Whats below your tailpiece?

But how much for it?

Interesantisimo e impredionante video. Todo un arte. Gracias y felicidades

What piano trio is this?

How much are the Martin basses?

Funny how this instrument retained so much of the build style of the viola da gamba vs the other violin family instruments.

This is the most helpful video I've seen on french bow technique. Many thanks!

Would those be perpetual strings?

So satisfying to watch. May I ask the approximate price of this unique instrument ?
