Glossary

Hi,

I'm pretty new to TB and the DB. I'm not sure where to post this, but I am wondering if there is a glossary of terms that are used with DoubleBass?

It would help me understand what people are talking about sometimes. Perhaps it could include a map of a double bass with all the parts labeled. Techniques could be illustrated, etc. I would be willing to help with it,

but I don't know much.
Would a glossary be appropriate?
Regards,
Dwight

What they list as 'middle bouts' are also called 'C bouts'. The bass also has tuning machines and an endpin.

This gets you all of the outside parts.
