Some of you has asked me to write my Blog in English before than in Italian. I would like very happy to be able to write a Blog only in English but my English is really no correct and I don't know a lot of words. So, for these reason, dear friends, I will continue to write the post of my articles in Italian and if you like you might use the Translator. I KNOW!! It's not the same thing. But really I'm not able to do it better. If you have some doubts about what I write, please write me in the...

First of all happy christamas and happy new year. I don't know if I will have other interesting ideas for 2010 in relation with our so loved instrument, the double bass or il Contrabbasso (it's also correct to wrire Contrabasso or even Controbasso). On of the most important thing that we have done is to illustrate all Bottesini's works thanks to an italian book that none can be able to tell to have. Here you can find everything you want to know about "Il Cremasco" and with only a click you can...

Without a doubt The Bass Gang (the italian quartett of double bass) is considered one of the best classical-bass-ensemble in the world, some critics talk about them as the best. But imho they have great skills under these points of view. Antonio Sciancalepore, Alberto Bocini, Andrea Pighi and, last but not least Amerigo Bernardi (quartett's members) have an important thing in common: they all play in great italian Orchestra. Well, they also teach, play as soloist and so on ... but the great...

I know not to know. There are many things that just do not know about dear mastodon. This leads me to understand some aspects more than others. This site was born a few months ago with the 'intention to have a few good tools but I hope to understand other forms of study. I believe that our instrument is very special. That's why there are many schools and many are at odds with one another. If I use the Italian technique, it does not mean that it is the best. There isn't a technique better than...

If you like to find more exercises about the Thumb Positions (Cr.-S.cr - Diat.) following Petracchi's School, you might give a look at these new exercises which I have added in the section "Technique for double bass" and written by maestro MICHELE CELLARO. BTW., in all the site you can find something interesting ... I hope!

I've posted a photo of mine in which it's possible to see an ARCUS SINFONIA, a carbon fiber bow. I think the price today is about Euro 1.600. Why do I talk of his price and not about its performances? Simply because I think it's to much to sell a carbon fiber with some skills positive and other negative at that price. Naturaly, imho! I had the chance to buy it at another price. My students use a Carbondix and there's not so much difference. Btw. it seems that its sound travels at 7000 meters...
