Finally, it's there. I have rented a double bass. I had to go to Breda to find a good "liutaio". It was very nice to be there. A shop that made me think of old times. A "liutaio" is nothing less than a carpenter specialized in a very beautiful and difficult instrument class: the strings.
I have started playing with it. It's an experience. The instrument is taller than I am, I have to embrace it to play it. The tuning is identical to my electric bass, but the fingering is completely different. I am experimenting on the "first position" and I am enjoying myself playing small children song with it. Goodbye to all the theory, the melodic scales, the dimished and the esatonics. Back to basics....
Next year I will buy one, If I will learn enough from this one.
