  • ...and? Who cares if he shoves the thing up his ass for support if he can play like this? You play where it is comfortable. Simple as that.

    'Proper' form and all that is great when you are starting out but once you find the way you like to play and the way that lets you get more of you into your pieces is what should dictate your positioning not some diagram in a book based on someone who is 5 ft tall.

  • The bass is not a 4/4, just so you know. Thickness has nothing to do with the size of the bass. I have encountered very small 3/4 basses and chamber basses that are just as thick, its purely stylistic and sometimes structural according to the type of bass. Furtok pays on a bass by Thomas Martin of England, a Nicola Bergonzi copy, explaining its Italian style. If you visit Furtok's website too, it shows him with it and you can see it is really not that large... 4/4's are terrifying!

  • Najlepsze wykonanie jakie widziałem ;) 

  • Certified Intergalactic! I listen to this from time to time. Love Furtok's playing of Bottesini Tarantella.

  • I wonder f he knows what a Tarantella is...

  • HAHAHA! I love how people are complaining about this man's posture and form while they're listening to him play this. Honestly people. Listen with your ears not your eyes. Whatever he's doing on that bass, he's doing it right so suck up your smug sense of superiority and try to appreciate this for what it is: a phenomenal performance.

  • Absolut perfekt! Ich bin begeistert!
