He also just posted himself playing a duetto with a clarinetist by Bottesini which is very nice.

Oh, it's a THREE STRINGED BASS.

the tone of this amazing bass is breathtaking , i would think that being only strung with three strings , ala Bottesini would help the bass to project ,and sing more,....
lovely to see him playing the piece taking into account the composers preference for a three stringed instrument . Bravo !
