About Me

  • About Heiner Kittel
    Musical Background
    Confirmed pathological guitarist (classical) with lots of well needed guidance along the way - Alessandro Alessandroni recommended that I play bass for a better understanding of composition (he also needs a bassist) - I since have no need of a monitor! The Contrabass is my instrument of choice in Church or jazzy place. One of my guitars has since been upgraded to a 7-stringed instrument.
    Location
    Swakopmund, Namibia
    Additional Information
    Ive fixed various guitars a violin or two, a few bows and two plywood 3/4 Contrabasses with not to serious problems - to reasonable playing condition. Natural wood acoustic intrigue me and I have made a few experimental intruments (variations on the balalaika).
    Your Gear
    I now own a bust up 4/4 flatback made in Czechoslovakia contrabass which will be speedily repaired for urgent private use. Someone had drilled holes in the back for light fittings and otherwise unexplaineble decorative purposes..... it's mine now. My ''dark ages'' workshop also contains the beginnings (front and back almost complete of a busetto type bass - I'm copying a F. Seitz). Otherwise there are various classical guitars, balalaikas a dombras, a piano, saxophone, recorders and a Jewish harp!
    Why you joined Ken's Corner
    i was intending to take the top off of my bass today when i stumbled on this forum and restoration of the french bass.... i've spent half the day on this forum reading. It can't possibly be the last time.
