They do seem like a costly but nice alternative to all else. I just made a last minute application to that Bass Kaleidoscope course in Germany at the end of March; if there is still room for more participants, I might run into those strings, as he is said to show up there and showcase his stuff.
i just talked to mr. genssler on the phone, he said he will be there with one bass and different strings to check out

And I just got confirmed that I can go. I don't think I'll be able to bring my own bass, though... seems like one has to go by train and bus. People always get mad at me when I bring too much luggage. Especially mothers of small children. They really hate me. They just can't understand that my bass is worth more than their kids. And I've done some counting on this! A child has to be over 3 years of age until so much money has been spent on it that it will technically speaking carry a greater value than my bass. Including the flight case, the kid'll have to be 3½. And at that age, they won't need a kid's carriage. This is why I have every right to claim the biggest space in the train as my own.
Anyways, Anselm, my friend, which route should I take? Flight to Berlin and then train towards wherever it is I should go?

well, joel, my friend, michaelstein is in the middle of nowhere, but i think if you fly to berlin, there must be a train next to it, and the remaing way by bus.
don´t they give you some roadmap at the office?

The Anfahrt part of the website is not very helpful. Their English translation is a bit contradictory. The problem is, that when I use Babelfish to translate the German version, it becomes just as contradictory! But I'll manage, I hope. I just thought that maybe you knew some secret trick.
I need to buy a bow down there. Some people will probably show up and try to sell us things, I mean apart from Herr Genssler, right?

Bring 'em.

I need one from around €2,5k and up. The downside of buying stuff directly from people is that they tend to keep the best to themselves... what's your keeper?
