Double Bass Differences Between German, Italian, etc...

Does that mean you can only use it for minstrel music?

Yes, as long as you have male players bowing, i.e., menarco.

You can also use it for The Ring Cycle, but that might require a vast amount of shedding. That way, one could be sure to discharge one's musical responsibility appropriately.

It would be best played on a bass with interior linings.

Okay, I'll stop here (for now). :D
