I just watched this entire series, back to back. Like a good book, I just couldn't put it down. What really grabbed me was the contrast between the massive physical effort required to shape the top with that two handed gouge, and the finesse required with a finger plane on the fine detailing of the edge purfling. It was both humbling and inspiring to observe a craftsman at work. I confess that, on more than one occasion, I had to wipe away a tear. Thank you for making this fascinating series, and for sharing.
Amazingly detailed explanations and execution. I loved the fine work on the neck, finding high points. As a player, This is so important. I have often felt dissatisfied with a bass just because the neck felt a bit uncomfortable but not until now did I know what was the cause.
Hi EW, I'm glad to see you working. I see you only make brescia models, and you're right, they sound like a God, nothing more beautiful, with perfect structure and easy to play. Cheers. Johnny
Hello, I am a Korean who is trying to make a double bass for the first time. I have been making violins, violas, and cellos for about 10 years. I have one question: there is a bent section at the upper part of the back plate of a double bass, and I’m curious about how to bend that part without damaging the back plate. Thank you.
At 7:09, the neck seems to have been reinforced, maybe with a carbon fiber rod or something. Can you elaborate a bit on that? Is it just the neck, or is there also some short rod going through the heel? Thanks!
Thank you for watching! And good observation. Indeed. There is an inlaid carbon fiber rod, underneath the maple cap that you see. Adds a lot of strength and stiffness to the neck.
