what size bass is that? it looks somewhat small, unless you're a very large man

[VolkanOrhon]

It is a 3/4 size bass. I am not that small either :-)

What a piece nice playing, great chops. I especially admire your ability to from arco to pizz and back, really quickly.  And for the recording quality, and my speakers, the music comes through. But what strings do you use? The sound is really bright at times... maybe that's your taste, but I'm curious to know.

[VolkanOrhon]

Thanks for the compliments. I was using D'Addario solo sets. But I think it sounds brighter than they uppear to be. I am not sure if it was because of the microphone of the camera or not.

Where could I get this transcription?

[VolkanOrhon]

I don't believe, there is a published transcription out there yet. I used the manuscript when I was studying with Gary. But I believe you can use the original violin part and transpose it whole step down for the solo tuning. I hope this helps.
