Bravo! Just incredibly gorgeous playing with the orchestra led by Maestro Grams, former conductor of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra in Elgin, Illinois USA who I had the pleasure of working with when I was a bassist with them. Gabriel, your sound reminds me of Gary Karr. Who made your instrument? You are amazing.

Wonderful player. What bass does he play? Maybe an old English....

[@mdsoulsounds]

Hawkes?

Video title says Bottesini, but description says Koussevitsky.

[@br-klassik]

Thanks for noticing, now it should show up correctly!

[@andyking957]

Plays rather like cello not a bass

[@remifasolla5324]

Could you explain why?

[@maximebertrand5626]

Bass does not sound like shit but like a string instrument. This bass player understood all. Its crazy to see still people who are saying "its not bass" because its warm and finnest 😂

[@mdsoulsounds]

The cello range ordeal, a challenge for bass repertoire to highlight lower frequencies!

[@user-fk8pu3wx8l]

That’s not a compliment for double bass

[@danieledorazio1825]

The marks on the keyboard would be enough to put him in lower positions...

You play it then

I think it is more about judging with your ears than with your eyes.
