I had seen the Bass many times in one of the NY shops and when he came to get it, the shop owner was quite happy I sent him and even re-haired his Bow for free along with the purchase. His bow was his G.Vitali French bow, ex-Kenny Smith!
Yes, if you get the chance to meet him, mention my name and 'immediately' he will refer to me as 'Kenny' like he (and everyone else back then) did when we were first both starting out.
He is great DB player and also studied with Neil Courtney (asst. Princ.) of the Philly Orch for many years.
