It has come to my attention that a colleague of mine needs to sell his double bass.
Unfortunately due to illness the owner who had taught the instrument for many a year has retired and wishes to sell..
- to pass it on to another musician's hands.
I know it is an excellent instrument and perfect for palying solo, jazz or "classical" music.
It is in marvellous condition and is truly a worthwhile cause.
Please spread the word and help a friend in need. If you are interested yourself, or know of anyone who would like to purchace this bass please reach him at
contrabass63@gmail.com

I thank for your support.
and in appreciation I leave you with some pieces featuring (or by) double bass players I take joy in hearing.
