Greetings!

Happy Friday everyone! 

It's been a busy few weeks with our own videos...from Prescott restorations and water damaged Juzek's to C Extensions...I seem to be grabbing our camera more than my block plan these days!  Check them out!

Last week it was the Octobass...this week it is the Bazantar.  What will next week bring? If it looks like a double bass or acts like a double bass...or you can't identify what it is but it somehow says "bass!" to you...send me the link!

So...without further ado, I bring you some Friday night double bass entertainment!

And remember...if you have ANY links, news, videos, etc. you want to share, eMail it to me at eroy@uptonbass.com and I'll be sure to share it.  Oh...and if you just want to say "Hi" you can do that too!
 
Have a nice weekend!

Eric,
This a new project I'm working on in NYC. The cellist is Mike Block ( Silk Road Ensemble, Mark O'Connor ) and the guitarist is Hans Holzen, Hans and I both work with Carrie Rodriguez and Mark O'Connor.  
It's a new project and we feel like it's somewhat unique.

Bazantar
YouTube
The Bazantar is a five-string acoustic bass, fitted with an additional twenty-nine sympathetic strings and four drone strings. The instrument possesses a melodic range of over five octaves, while its sympathetic range spans four octaves. This results in an interplay between melodic, sympathetic, and drone strings which weaves an unexpected landscape of resonance that is remarkably rich in texture.
