I’ve been following Gerda on social media for a couple of years now and she’s so inspiring!! :) Hopefully I can take lessons with her soon! I wish I can play half as expressively as she can!! 😭

Nagyon cuki tesód van, szép a vibrátója és szépen szólnak neki a mélyek valamint tisztán játszik ami külön kincs a bôgôn. Gratulálok!
Gerda! Csak kapkodom a fejem, miközben lenyűgöz, amit már idáig is elértél. Végre valaki a családban, aki nem csak a dumájából él!
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Geoff!

Thanks Jim, it was a real pleasure meeting Gerda and hearing her play!
If she has a CD out of her solo playing I'd like to buy it. I love listening to the slower deeper playing of the double bass even though it's hard to hold back the tears.
Nagyon gratulálok!!
Drága Gerdus! Hatalmas ölelés! Köszönöm! ❤
