Volume 185 - Friday March 19th 2016
Gary & I are at Carnegie Mellon today for the Pittsburgh Double Bass Symposium today (assuming you're reading this on Friday March 19th!).

We have a special place in our hearts with this show as it was where we first introduced publicly our Brescian model!  We'll be hauling that Brescian to the show (its Gary's personal bass!) as well as bringing the two Cavani models (see links below) that we've made.  

If you're in the Pittsburgh area today stop in and say hi!

Dave and I have had this one planned for awhile...and now that we're not knee deep in website editing ,we dusted off the camera and got to work!  

Dave's been listening to me on the phone a lot the past few months, and he's been keeping track of some of the common calls we get and putting them up on the white board as video ideas.  

If you're considering a bow rehair or just starting out with a double bass bow, check out this quick informational video with playing examples!
