This is great! Bravo to all these fine luthiers! I had the pleasure to play on Gael’s restoration and Mitch’s bass at the ISB. The fingerboard on Gael’s instrument felt absolutely perfect. Mitch’s bass sounds great. A privilege to meet with these fine people and play on their beautiful instruments. Thanks Geofff!
The topic is innovation in double bass making. The first guest have made a 100% ebony free instrument, the 2nd reduced size and the last an incredible asymmetrical with holes in the ribs. It's all in the video.
Indeed! I got to play a bass he made quite some years back at Gage's old spot while joy-testing basses with an old friend, and we were both *quite* impressed by its sound and playability.
Brilliant interviews, and captures a little of the feel of the ISB convention. I would so love to go to this already, although still such a newbie on the bass. Love Discover Double Bass, it is a super resource for bass players. Thanks Geoff!
@@DiscoverDoubleBass BTW I received my bass pin the other day and will proudly wear it at our first Double Bass workshop in Blenheim NZ this weekend with my wonderful teacher Alanna Jones of the NZSO! I'm already hoping we can make this an annual event and expand it with time....!
