Hi everyone,

Currently interested in learning Cello/Double Bass

May I know the differences between these two in term of price, size, weight cause I need to carry myself instead of using car to transport it if possible.

Thanks a lot...

cello is ok.... price & size wise but double bass price wise lots more than a cello ... limited range to choose in MY .. size wise ... HUGE.

mayb try an e-double bass.... seen one in Jln Imbi.. from PRC..... u can seen both in Euphony ... top floor next to Ikea KL. there are 6 cellos and 2 double bass there .... Have FUN.

to carry a double bass around over ur shoulder .. waaaahhhhhhhhh... u really tok-kong !!!!!!!!!!

anyone is learning chinese violin (er hu)? any centre around selangor area offers courses for this traditional music instrument?

subangman:

means I can carry a cello over shoulder, but not a double bass?

What is e-double bass? electronically amplified version?

considering all aspects, which one would be better?

air should learn double bass...Our current market lacked of that instrument adn viola.

ok... why dun u go to another thread ... name gu zheng (traditional instrument) and post it there .. i will furbish all info tat u like ..

else the Moderators here might not b happy with my replies here .... this thread is purely for the strings instruments (english orchestra)...

Mod.. sori ah if i offended.

o great, see u there

yes indeed ... my son carrys it over his back from place to place ...eventhough the longest distance from Renaissance to old Saloma auditorium once due to traffic jam and no parkin space over there.

i have seen ppl carry a cello using the hard case over their back every now and then... but double bass... NOT YET.. mayb u can start it off pal.

e-double bass is the electronic type just like an e-violin or e-cello.

dun know which is better..... i dun play them.... but my 2sens opinion... start from the basic if u r serious. For FUN .,..... go wit ur heart and the size of ur wallet !

i prefer cello.

double bass not so nice when u perform solo to people.

but cello, u can play bach suite to people, so nice~

its much mellower, sweeter than a violin, sometimes i prefer cello sound more to violin.

double bass? nono~ good for orchestra only

100% agree..... wonder any of u all here seen a Luis & Clark cello in Malaysia or anyone here tested one?

double bass ..... not my cup of tea too....

i don't think anyone will take the risk to bring in carbon fibre instruments that priced from RM20k~RM30k.

for that price, you can buy some really nice wooden violin/cello.

i read an article... the only thing that tis poor dude managed to salvage after hurricane katrina hit his house was tis cello....and it still performs perfectly after the it

like the color and design.... tryin to get more info .... wan to upgarde my son's cello soon..... wood is very subjective and i need to bring him
to Europe to obtain it and a risk of wat we will be paying too..... at least tis plastic cello ensure for its quality.... .

Do u agree wit me pal ?

it's entirely up to you...

i think Luis & Clark cello would be a smash...

consider what they already can do with a Luis & Clark viola...(not possible on wooden one)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf2w2zMNvzE

imagine what they can do with a cello or double bass

so i say go for it pal...and make your wife happy too

i realise there's a bass thread here but that doesnt mean u cant talk bass in here

it's still a stringed instrument. dont discriminate

tat's a veri funny ads........... if less than US$10 bucks ... i dun mind have it.. in fact highly promoting for them around my Kampung here.

my wife wouldn't b happy as she doesn't really knows how to cook....

anyway ... thx for ur clip.. brighten up my gloomy day .... luckily not today not sunday............. (Gloomy Sunday).

veri nice song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiOyvxgcob4&feature=related

Yet another intonation reply

here is how to train your intonation using your ears and not your eyes...

(pre-condition, tune your instrument nicely before you try this, and make sure your teacher teach you what to hear, and how to differentiate, with your ear not eyes, what is out of tune and what is not.

apply for violin viola too...
