Building a double bass - YouTube

[JPJ]

So Sunday was a pretty cold wet July day here up in God’s country, so after a quick trip out for coffee and cake with the Memsaab, I settled down on the sofa and watched this video series on YouTube by Luthier Benedict Puglisi, of his recreation of Edgar Meyer’s double bass. I find it fascinating to see the hours of work that goes into creating both the carved front and back of these instruments. In my opinion, well worth a watch if you like this sort of thing.

When they were knocking out the former, I was just waiting for the sound of a crack, followed by an Aussie, "Oh, crap!"
