Prelude to Cello Suite #1, J. S. Bach, contrabass classical guitar

Prelude to the 1st Cello Suite by J.S. Bach. In the key of D+. Pardon the sloppiness, I just wanted to post something to 'show off' the contrabass I recently acquired for the guitar studio. Please also pardon the sync problem - the audio is slightly (noticeably) out of sync by the end of the piece. Personally, I love the sound of the instrument on the top 4 strings especially.

who is the Luther?

[SBGuitarStudio]

@Firefoxett The guitar is made by Aria. Model 75CB. It's a 75cm scale length. You can learn more about them by searching Aria AC-75CB

A couple questions- what is the tuning on that-- is it tuned like a six string bass, BEADGC? And does it use bass strings? Sounds awesome!

@dxroadduke

Hi There, It's a standard guitar tuning down an octave, EADGBE. yes, it uses special bass strings. Hannabach bass 75cm scale length. Glad you like the sound - I do too!

The sound on that guitar is outstanding, never heard anything like it!

Thanks! It's a treat to listen to. It's not such a treat to play - it's like driving a bus! Still, very rewarding...

Very nice video, very well done! It's a amazing guitar, I know Aria for their cheap electric guitar, but i didn't know they do some great instrument like this. Did you know there is a luthier (Graham Caldersmith) who build an full guitar family in Australia since 1980. He is suppose to be the first to extend guitar as a family of instrument. With your'e video, I discover the guitar ensemble made by Aria, do you know since when they start to build those guitars? Maybe thei are the first one

what are the guages for the hannabach 75cm bass string set?

thats very interesting that its nylon, i didnt know about that.

i am confused, are nylon string guages the same as steel string guages? thanks

I spend all day teaching children guitar, so an normal sized guitar on a small body isn't an unusual sight for me. Once you began to play I took a helluva double take :D

Nice work, I'm sure it's insanely difficult to get a clean tone out of that bugger. Good work!

You missed a note. I disliked your video. Then I disliked it again. Don't miss notes. You had no dislikes, now you have two. Sorry...

[PureZOOKS]

How much did you pay for that 75CB?
