Default 1820 Prescott 5er actual audio

Check out my poor rendition of some very low note on my 1820 Prescott Busetto. My only excuse for the poor performance is I was recovering from heart and breathing problems. "The Elephant" is 4 whole tones lower than the usual Eb rendition to manifest the low B string. So too with "Swanee River", which is pitched down to low C. Other excerpts are to long to transmit or even store on my web page.

Default mp3 Audio of 1820 Prescott 5 string low notes

From: Don Carrigan, Gloucester, MA

Here are two mp3 files of my 1820 Prescott featuring notes down to low C. This bass is currently on loan to a bassist with a major orchestra as recurring illness prevents me from best use.
