MandShef Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi there, my two sons age 5 & 8yrs are both keen on learning the double bass, and I love the idea of teaching them! I know you can get mini-sized basses for teaching young kids on, but I don't know what kind of age they're aimed at (I'm guessing 5 might be a bit young?!). Has anyone taught v young kids bass before? What sort of sizes do the mini-basses come in? And where do you get them from?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 [size=4][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I've seen a half size (hell of a lot of volume for size) and I believe they come smaller. I know that Peter Hall in Beverley purchased all a music centre's basses when it closed and may have some or know where to get them (he was the source of the half size I saw).

Gareth Hughes Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Check Thomann out - think they go as small as 1/8 or 1/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
