I see a proud dad... hey, that's a good feeling.

Sunday evening rehearsal, just one bass. For budget reasons, the basses (hired section) alternate at the Community rehearsals. Trying to stay awake as you can see. Nothing to do with the music or the orchestra but it's just not prime time for me and my bass. The bass looks like my Mittenwalder (Neuner).

One was taken with me and the Martini some years ago by a visitor from Japan, my distributor Hajime. The other was taken last year for my Orchestra for something which was never used. That is the Panormo I am holding but you can only see the Scroll area of the Bass.

This is from a concert 2 weeks ago with me using the Kreutzer Bass. It's very comfortable to play and I have a pick-up on it as well for the times I need an Amp for a Pops concert or Jazz venue. On this concert I used it with an amp on just the last song for an R&B type part with Drums and Electric Piano with Orchestra and Chorus. Next week I will use the Kreutzer again with an Amp in a show at that same school, West Side Story, just one bass.They try using kids from the school but hire pros for the chairs that are too difficult.
