In bar 38 (semiquavers/16th notes down from a C#), the Carl Fischer/Levinson edition has a G# for the sixth and seventh notes. Every other place I've looked has G natural written. No other...

How old do think it might be? I'll likely get people asking me about it, since it's sort of nearby. Can it be worth 32 grand? There's some suspicion that it's a modern Hungarian copy, but I don't...

That's weird. It works when I click on it. I'll see if I can just screenshot it or something, although the photos might not be as good that way. It's supposedly a Dollenz for sale for 32k in Limerick.

2.5 years post restoration and the bass is now projecting nicely. Spent a year with olive g and d strings, which sounded amazing but don't really stay in tune reliably. Trying Passione again but i'm...

EP/Olive
I had Olive G&D (with EP A&E) on for a year. I have no idea whether i should expect more or less out of them. Anyone have any experience there?
On my other bass I've had EP weichs for at least two...

Carry-onn spike??
I'm looking to reduce the weight of my bass in a flight case. I'm pretty sure I usually removed the endpin anyway in the past, but this time I probably will for sure.
Has anyone ever taken their...

I had an interesting experience while attempting to switch frogs on these bows. I figured I would try it out well in advance of the tour to be sure was comfortable with the results. The frogs/sliders...

Not TOO thick, just thicker relatively in comparison to the top three. Best sounding long E I've tried, along with the medium EP. Different, of course, but both good in their own way.

Have you had a chance to compare Jargar to Passione? From the sound of it, they both have a beautiful sound, but slightly less volume/power than other strings. On my bass I really loved the sound of...

Not sure if this helps, but I've played two or three 'brazilwood' bows, and I would say generally that they have less density and resilience than pernambucco. Not as responsive to play, as a result....

Traveling with ivory frog
I may be touring in the US later in the year. My favourite bow has an ivory frog. The maker can't give me anything more than "it's from my family's old stock" as a statement of its origin. I have...
