| | | | Help a 10 yo with Strings Questions?
Hi. I'm the parent of a 10 yo boy who is learning to play the double bass in his school orchestra. He has homework to label the parts of his bass, and the book provided doesn't have all parts named. Can anyone help us name a couple of parts we still can't find? Thanks for considering. He's super excited about learning and is already playing simple songs!

If you send me your email address, I'll send you a photo of the great Christopher Double Bass poster I have with all the parts named in German, English, French and Italian!  |

| | | I scanned his worksheet, but the attachment was too large to send here. I can send you a scan of his homework paper if you email me at marthannec@yahoo.com. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the help we received here in this forum.
My son should be able to ace his test and continue enjoying his strings class!

Altogether now...........

One down and two to go..........I forgot one that you can't see in the picture. The last one you can't actually see either. If it weren't for one of these last two, the whole bass would fall apart. If it weren't for the other, the top would crack. (more than likely)

What do I win?
Oh yeah, you could also include purfling and saddle. BTW I think it's a terriffic that a 10 year old has such enthusiasm for the DB.

I tried not to get wacko and mention that Clink's bass has violin corners when we all know ( I hope ) that that is just one of four patterns that our basses can have.
Oops, my bad....you got another in your post....the saddle. Not all basses have purfling. (You edit damn quick, man.)
One more.
Don't forget, we need to tell the OP what these things are and what they do.

If you're not completely confused by now, you're just unconfusable.
