Sonore strings

[Joel Larsson]

Apparently, these are super-high end, ultra expensive German strings made in small quantities. Has anybody every encountered them, 'in real life'? All I have found online is an email address to the maker, geroldgenssler@gmx.de.

hi joel,
there is a thread in the other forum (sorry ken) about mr gensslers products
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=382000

and if you can read german many info in a german forum
http://www.geba-online.de/forum.php4

i never played these strings, but the guys who did are 100% convinced of their quality

Thanks Anselm, I don't know why I didn't see that thread. Perhaps it's because my focused has moved here.

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.

hi joel
thats interesting, maybe i will be there too.

[Joel Larsson]

That would be just great, Anselm. If there is room for me (I still haven't received any form of response), watch out for a guy with a red beard, too little hair for his age and a bad Swedish accent to my English.

ok, and you can watch out for somebody who looks like my avatar, but without a tailcoat.

(ever thought about using a pic of you as an avatar?)

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?
