Making a Meyer Double Bass: Chapter 2 “The Sound of Spruce“

The Evolving Bass. This video is the 2nd sneak peak into the workshop and reveals the procedure of making the belly of the Double Bass. “Behind-the-Scenes: Making the Meyer Double Bass,“ inspired by the amazing music and sound of virtuoso Edgar Meyer. I was lucky enough to meet with him in 2019 and had access to his Italian labelled instrument, and it turned out to be a passion project I just couldn’t resist. Part 2 reveals my procedure for making the belly/top of this stunning Double Bass using well aged Swiss Spruce. Set to the music of the very talented Bassist/ Musician Elsen Price, improvising and recorded live by Rippa Recordings. Filmed entirely by myself in the winter of 2020 - Please feel free to ask questions, and comment below. And if you would like to see more in this series don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!
