What a fantastic teacher, to bring so much out of an obviously super-talented student. The bass is such a great instrument!

[@cmw12]

Indeed! He started to play with so much more musicality.

[@MotoMoto-ld9gi]

That first instruction at the start of the video when the student was acting like Odon was wasting his time and Odon started playing that really got the student listening.

[@andreashoppe1969]

I would trade everything I possess currently for just one lesson with this guy!

[@josephbarbarie692]

I love how he says the kid's playing sounds like a "Harley-Davidson." A little harsh maybe, but the simile is apt, and gets the point across. BTW -- I happen like the student's somewhat "covered" tone. Odon was asking for a bigger tone, but that can come at the expense of subtlety in expression.

Interpreter is so cute🤭

[@hifumi4334]

it sounds weird.

[@gavinhardy2496]

Its normally played in soloist tuning. But in this case, they play it in orceshtra tuning

[@paulfrantzis1]

Is he really using a German grip on a French bow?? How strange-why not just use a German bow?

[@duochen8978]

I think because he didn't bring his own instrument and bow, and they provided him the bow, but probably the wrong bow type

[@Kapiwolf123]

its a german bow

[@XaviBasser]

@@Kapiwolf123 It's not.

[@ellerose2320]

Bruh that’s a French grip
