Bravo Marc, J'adore ta présentation; ton spiccato est exemplaire!

[@DrMarkMorton]

+Zbig Borowicz Merci bien!

[@alfieharries]

Well played. Lovely sound too, super clear on the low end especially. Are you still using Kaplans?

[@MsBossio]

Maravilloso

[@alikman2006]

Admire your performance! I would like to know which strings do you use on this bass?

[@DrMarkMorton]

D'addario Kaplan.

[@BassAwareness]

for the first triplet passage at letter A, what are the advantages of doing that up the D string?

[@DrMarkMorton]

I like it because it keeps the tone more consistent.

[@MsBossio]

Who strings you use Maestro?

[@DrMarkMorton]

D'Addario Kaplan

@@DrMarkMorton GRACIAS MAESTRO 🙂

[@darrenbreeze2065]

Who is the maker of your bass?

[@DrMarkMorton]

It's a Joseph & Antonio Gagliano made in Naples in 1805

@@DrMarkMortonyes! The sound is very appealing it's a lovely open sounding bass. Wow! That must of cost a fortune

jajaaj,soy violinista,él toca la parte de contrabajo,bien(por cierto el contrabajo tiene un sonido horrible,donde están los graves?.Y me parece muy bien que toque la parte de Don Juan para una audición,prueba,etc,etc,pero no puedo dejar de reirme de que a alguien le puede gustar la parte SOLA del contrabajo.Por otro lado bravo por el maestro. Eso si maestro,cambie de contrabajo,suena horroroso y sin profundidad de graves

It’s a video to help tmea students to get ready for an audition, it’s not supposed to sound pleasant by itself
