I am a bass singer and was always happier when there was sufficient bass accompaniment to float the voice. It is a lovely instrument that you are demonstrating. The reason for using the pointed patch was to keep from butting the grain up against because cross grain does not glue to easily, but a forty five degree or more pointed welds itself more securely into the old grain. That is why they use football shaped patches on plywood, but your instrument has seen the attentions of a more caring craftsman.

@@eviethorne2511 I really enjoyed your presentation. I wish i could sing in the chorus of your St. Matthew Passion. You obviously know and love your instrument and we need to wring out some composers to get them to address your idea of the treble end of your fingerboard and more solo compositions. A lot of baroque instruments have gotten new compositions lately because their sounds are so distinctive. When i was in Brian College Station, we had a lab technician in the choir who played Violone and it was an incredible richness playing with the organ.

I love the deep, warm richness of this instrument. Thanks for the video.

The most beautiful instrument I have ever seen. I played bass guitar for years, and I have always wanted a contrabass, but I can't afford one, and would have no way to transport, or store one. That exact instrument in this video is my absolute dream.

I think the sound engineer on this video did a good job, but also that is a lovely sounding instrument and those strings sound amazing!

Watching these videos always brings a tear to my eye. It's so humbling to think of all the generations who heard this exact sound - perhaps even this exact instrument - and felt that dark, heavy power adding such depth to an orchestra.

This is a wonderful video. I only wish it was 20 minutes long and included more playing.

I like the tones of your Baroque Double Bass. I would love to see a come back of the older instruments. It would be quite interesting to have performances which included both old and new. I think the period we are living through right now would be open to some new arrangements and compositions.

@@frankzaffuto3670 Even now though, the guts of sheep slaughtered for food are not wasted. Rather, we eat them as well -- they are used for sausage casings. In fact, although I agree in general that we are very wasteful in many ways, this doesn't apply to the practices of modern abattoirs, where almost every part of an animal carcass gets used for something, even if it is -- in some cases -- only pet food. A lot of vegans would probably be horrified to discover how many of the products they use and depend on every day are derived from animal sources.

Ray Jennings That’s not exactly true. Pound for pound sheep are less hunted for meat than deer, rabbit, moose, amongst other wild game, as well as from the Beef, Pork and chicken industry. Sheep isn’t really prolific at all, just your average supermarket lean meat. Frankly the only other reason they’re hunted is that their gut is just the right strength and stretch ability to be able to be wound into a proper string that basses like these can use.

What a gorgeous instrument! My brother gifted me with a beginner instrument. I loved it, being a lifetime cellist, but it wore me out plus I went on the road in an RV. Now I am on the road in USA with a carbon fiber ukulele. A great bass would have made all the difference! Be well, and thank you!

I love how we can see the strings vibrate! And also the umami comparison ♥️😂

Comparing the bass section of the baroque orchestra to umami is completely on point! I also always love it when listening the mentioned Bach oratorio and the bass section comes in.

I can almost feel the vibrations while watching on youtube.

shes so cool! could listen to her talk abt bass all day

Mathews passion is my favorite piece for viola da Gamba - really great pedal notes in that solo. Being a baseline junkie I expected to hear that viola line on your bass, I guess your examples like "while cello/tenor would do this" set up the thing for that. Just imagining this beautiful rich and full warm rumble of this instrument sounds good 👍

Good lord - that is beautiful...I'd love to play it and even though I'm a guitarist I'm pretty sure I could pull a few notes out of it ❤️

Thanks! Interesting strings.

So awesome.

The basses with six strings are the lowest members of the viol family. There are two types: in G and in D, and they were tuned like a guitar, but the third string was detuned one semitone, if we compare them with the guitars.

The violone, my favorite baroque instrument together with the baroque oboe. Thanks for such a wonderfully presented video!
