Basses have such a nice earthy tone... I think its because it's the closest thing to playing a tree.

[flaminess]

he holds his bow in such an interesting way

These are fun to study as bassists but as a listener I think I prefer the actual Cello which isn't to knock this performance. He is an amazing player and plays it well.

Where would I find a bow like that..

@highway788 Ich bin aus Island, aber ich spreche ein wenig Deutsch und Sie machen einen guten Punkt.

I had to learn the basics of this instrument as a music major, i kept playing two strings at one time, but i did enough to pass the class

@flaminess It's a Baroque bow. That's why. It's held much higher up than a normal french style bow. The higher up with the baroque gives the better dexterity for your playing, especially on a cello piece as complex as this one.

@flaminess I would assume it has it purpose, seeing that cello bow is shorter (generally, I know person who plays virtuoso cello and bass, and uses one bow for both of them. Maybe it is because it was really expensive bow... Dunno) But I would guess that i so he could get a closer tough to the instrument, since he is kinda playing like a cello in this case, even it is a Contr.bass
