Vito Liuzzi - The Classical Double Bass
PREFACE
Dear collegues and visitors,
I have to explain some little things.
This a no professional website but it is a simple "my invention".
Naturally I will talk about myself, my country (Italy) ,my little town Conversano, my parents, my friends and so on.
But I would like also to talk about the "Culture of the Double Bass" in every sense, expecially in relation to the "classic doublebass" (also Jazz players, naturally, are welcomed!).
I don't know a lot about the classic doublebass and so it's a good manner to study it better.
In every page you will find a lot of "off topic"!!
I know my English is terrible and no correct. I beg your pardon!
My Best Bass Regards.
Vito

What maestro GARY KARR thinks about this my "experiment"
gary karr (to link Mr Karr site ckick on the his imageMaestro GARY KARR is very kind!
His GARY's KAMP is surely a great experience for double bass players.
His own words:
"I'm not surprised by the success of your new website. It's outstanding and has more information than any other website for the contrabbasso. Your design is simple to use, very well organized and very attractive to the eye. I love your photos of your technique with the bow. They are a very useful tool for teachers and students. In fact, the entire website is a gold mine of information. Bravo to you, Vito, for creating this excellent reference source for anyone interested in our instrument. What you accomplished is nothing short of brilliant! My hat is off to you!".
Gary Karr
Maestro Karr has been very kind. This site is simply "an idea" to do something different. Just this!

Two very strange people ! I don't know them!!
It's a strange thing. When I study here expecially during the summer, all my cats go away ... only Speedy looks at me and moves its head to tell: "There's nothing to do stoppin' him" ... and escapes in a very fast manner.
Hmmm...
