I have asked Rinat Ibragimov, he replied that they are gut core strings.

Rinat ibragimov actually replied to you.. that is so badass

Finally, the piano has found an instrument which can actually compete with it. This sounds fantastic. - Saw on another clip that someone said of the double-bass that maybe the reason the double-bass sounds so 'earthy' is because it's the closest thing to playing a "tree" !!!

Beautiful music and nice playing !!!!

Does any one have scores for solo tuning and piano?!?

I'm curious as to how you came about thinking the sheet music to be printed in A major, If his strings were tuned to F,Bb,Eb,Ab, its as if he was playing it in G major (hence the use of open strings and harmonics)... right?

[bassplayer5466]

Does any one else believe his strings to being tuned to F,Bb,Eb,Ab?

Im almost positive they are.

[Clonkers223]

Well done! Excellent!! By any chance was the music printed in A Major or was it the original cello copy being used in this video?

Wonderful, finally a bass soloist who actually sounds like he is playing the bass. One of my favorite youtube videos. Bravo Mr. Ibragimov!!!! A quick question, Eudoxa solo strings? Are these gut?

That is so beautiful, it touched the deepest parts of my heart.

I play double bass too, I hope I'll ever have a tone like you...

Thank you for posting this...
