Václav Vačkář's march "Šohaj" adapted for quintet of double basses.
Good work by my talented students from the generations 2017 until 2018
It was very funny to record the quintets in the forest 😂
(few more videos to come)
Performers (from left to right):
Oskari Hänninen, Božo Paradžik, Madlaina Küng, Cecilia Perfetti and Marko Hristoskov
Vačkář's music is under copyright protection until 2024, please don't ask me for the sheet music.

Bass players are always so fun! Too many egos in the violin section. I should have been a bass player...

I imagine the local far away hearing this through the trees - so beautiful

[@mattd3826]

It sounds like the voice of the trees singing feel within the forest

[@dumpsterpenguinn]

This is exactly why I started bass five years ago (I’m only 14 now, but I aspire to be like this when I’m older!) This was actually so beautiful and amazing, keep up the great work!!!

[@alejandrom.4680]

How the hell you could play with 9 years double bass?

[@rafeverao4105]

[@screeteao.o3311]

@@aliyadebartolo729 Yeah, you can even get some double basses that are the same size as a cello!

[@softdaria2220]

@@alejandrom.4680 9 year olds could play bass because they have different sizes. I started playing bass when i was 12 and I was about 4'8.

[@alejandrom.4680]

@@softdaria2220 Oh, I thought there was just one size of the double bass because of the deep and rich low note-sound. Thank you all! Is sad to belive that I'm a composer and I don't even thought that before.

[@nemo227]

I am surprised and delighted. I have never heard basses played in the woods. A bass is made from wood so it's as if they were going back home . . . In my experience outdoor performances were the most difficult because it was difficult to hear the bass. The sound just seemed to fly away. I always preferred a wall behind me but my experience has been almost exclusively playing in small dance band combos.

[@bozoparadzikcom]

interesting 🤗

[@dilbarpark592]

You are so good! I am enjoying your playing!

[@EstherP_]

The audio for the video was probably recorded separately and then put over the top of the video. No stringed instrument I think sounds good outside, like you said, the sound just flies away.

[@bozoparadzikcom]

@@EstherP_ nope, it is recorded at the same time. Every pro would see if it wasn't ☺

[@EstherP_]

I have now re-watched it on my computer rather than my phone screen, I just noticed the microphones. Without the microphones picking up the sound then, as I said previously, everything would have just disappeared into the thin air. In my professional experience of having performed outside, the sound is deadened without something for the sound waves to reverberate off.

[@garylockaby353]

How can that many peoples intonation be that great on fretless instruments? Wow great job!

[@bozoparadzikcom]

...practicing.... and enough rehearsals ☝😇

[@matthewv789]

Gary Lockaby well that is what an orchestra or a string quartet does, why not basses? But you’re right, it’s very hard to do well! Practice and listen carefully!

[@yoloninja4798]

It helps to be sensitive to pitch, as all notes have to be formed solely by you.

[@dntertainment5435]

Intonation should be better on fretless instruments, given the player has lots of practice. Although intonation is generally better on fretted instruments for beginners and intermediate players

[@yoloninja4798]

DNtertainment though there are some learning Aids for beginners. Firstly, you can use the tone-tone-tone-semitone structure to help with playing, and secondly you can just put stickers on the fret board there your fingers should go

[@ashleycallari1892]

I’ve been looking for someone on this platform who makes double bass content regularly for about a year. This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!

[@matthewv789]

That one violinist I have a playlist of over 40 videos of a particular bass player (some as young as 14, and some with duets with her older brother) if you look at the playlists on my profile. Not sure if you’ve seen her videos before.

[@strathspey]

Oh my godd!! I cant find many double bass players but im so happy this appeared in my recommended. i started playing double bass about 2 years ago and this is something i hope to be able to do

[@shannonsadler8038]
