Classical Masters Interview Series - Question 4

Welcome to question 4 of our Classical Masters series, where we have been asking questions to the very best classical double bass soloists. This time, we asked:

Can you recommend a favourite technical exercise which has helped you over the years?

There is some really useful advice in this video and a range of exercises to help intonation, bow changes, wrist action and more! Let us know in the comments which exercise you would like to try out in your practice.

For a list of the artists and timecodes for their answers, please see below the video. For more information about each artist, please visit the first video, here.
