The Panormo school bass is back now with its newly made chromatic C-Extension. Sorry, no pics yet but I will post them when they are taken.

I have a dress rehearsal tomorrow and concert on Saturday. I think I will take the bass out and see what it does. It plays very easy (thanks Arnold) but its got some girth to it. I think being that I can maybe play with less effort for the same amount of sound or even more but with less bow pressure, the added girth might not be much of a strain on my lower back. Reaching less and pressing more with the bow is strain as well so I will find out soon enough if I can work around the girth issue.

I have it in the rack next to my Hart. I think a picture of them side by side would give a better perspective of what I am talking about.
