For sale is a German bow made by American archetier Rodney Mohr. This bow produces a dark, powerful, refined sound, and is especially well suited for orchestral playing. The bow likes to sit into the string, and if you let it do what it wants it will make you very happy. The German model...

For sale is a modern Pöllmann double bass built in 2006. This is a Busetto model equipped with a chromatic C extension and is in excellent condition. There are no cracks on the instrument, and I have owned it since 2019. The bass projects evenly across all registers and is very easy to...

For sale is a German bow made by California artist and bow maker Burdell Tenney. This bow has served me well for two years in a serious conservatory with a prestigious teacher in NYC, but I recently upgraded and don’t need both bows. This bow is a canon, and pulls an absolutely enormous sound...

Hey all, I was wondering if anybody had the excerpt list from the recent Met audition? The only list I could find online was from the 80s. Thanks

I recently bought a German bow which is heavier than standard, as well as extremely long. (Almost 170g!) The current case I am using only fits the bow because the case is broken at the top, allowing the tip of the bow to come through the case. I have tried my current teachers double bow case (...

Is there a way to change my screen Name? I'm trying to make it my real name. Thanks.

Hey all. I've got a very nice German bass. It's carved, but it is a "factory" instrument. It's a pretty good sounding bass, but it's a little on the trebley side. Other than that, speaks evenly, good projection, plays well. I'd say the bass is worth between 8,000 and 10,000$. I know at one...

I need to play "In The Heights" in April, and was looking through my book today. In addition to being full of marks (by somebody who likely couldn't read music - note name and "fret" were written over every note), I'm missing two pages in Big Number 9 "When You're Home" pages 47 48. Does...

I'm driving up to Boston to see the berklee open house on Saturday. Any jazz clubs/ jam sessions to check out Saturday night?

I'm going to the NYC today to do some busking to make some extra $ to send my new double bass into a shop. I'll be taking this bass alone to the subways. I have a few classical pieces to play, as well as some standards. I was thinking I'd play the melody, a chorus of playing the changes, a few...

I'm in need of a good workhorse 5 string. I currently play a Yamaha tbrx305, which isn't a bad bass, but I'm just looking for something a little nicer. I'm torn between the VM Squire 5, and a MM sub ray 5. This is going to mainly be a work instrument, so I'm trying to keep the price <300 used...

So I was listening to some records on spotify and part of the appeal of spotify is that they throw in songs from other artists or albums that are similar to what you are listening to. One of the songs I heard was some standard (autumn leaves or all of me maybe?) But it was only violin and...

As a high school student getting ready to go to college next year, (I play bass and tuba) I've been on the hunt for that one bass that will take care of me through out school. - it's been a bit of a journey through multiple basses. Starting with a shector Ultra bass. I traded that to a very...

Hi everyome, I'm the go to bass player at my high school, and I was recently asked to play with the Navy Band. The piece we are playing is a march, and the piece does not mark to play Arco or pizz. Any help as to what I should do? The show is Sunday and I want to be spot on with my technique.
