    Double Bass Any ideas of the possible origin & age of this double bass?

    I stumbled across this bass and will be seeing it shortly. Any ideas of its origin, age, or who may have made it from the limited markings inside, or perhaps the construction, tuning machines, end pin, etc? It obviously needs a few things to be playable, but I wondered if it might be worth the...

    Double Bass Streicher bow hold

    Hi, I came across a variant of German grip, called Streicher grip, which is supposedly done by placing thumb lightly over the stick, with its tip not touching the stick; the force to control the bow comes from index finger. I tried and it doesn't seem to be really helpful in any way of bowing...
