    That double bass is a laboratory where you can do experiments and discover new things.

    Never really thought of the double bass being played like this. Thanks for bringing me a new perspective of the instrument

    Nothing like it anywhere. So musical. A transformation of the double bass.

    An absolute tour de force. Unbelievable. One of the best versions I’ve ever heard of this piece, on one of the most difficult and awkward instruments you could possibly imagine. Bordering on miraculous.

    Must be an amazing feeling to play double stops on the bass and have them sound beautiful.
