- In preparation for the Philadelphia Orchestra’s first official services of the 2020/21 season, Norma had to be packed up at the Kimmel Center so she could be taken over to the Mann Center.
First I brought her from my apartment to the Kimmel Center, with an unexpected mishap along the way. I may or may not have bumped her on a door. There is an open seam which may or may not have been from that bump. Who knows? Probably not though, I haven’t had Norma checked in a couple years which I usually get done by Aaron Riley of Guarneri House, who made my other bass “Riley.”
I finally got to retrieve my Steve Riley bow, which is my fifth bow that I couldn’t show you in my bow video because it had been in my locker since March.
You also get to see our new bass trunks that I packed in Norma into.

Now that’s a Bass Trunk Deluxe! Thanks for showing how much work goes into just prepping your instrument for travel. Being a working musician is legit hard work.
Love this video 👌
It’s nice to know that I’m in good company naming my basses.
Hi Joe,
You care for your Bass like I care for my piano. And, I talk to him, too. I tune him monthly -I clean and polish the case monthly. When I finish playing, I put the cover on him-it helps with tuning stability and humidity. He also has a dampp-chase system installed. You know, you take care of them and they take care of you! This video was fascinating. It should what you go through to transport your instrument to a performance. 🙏🏼
Ah! I've shared a stage with Susan Wolf - in the symphony chorus. Small world! I'm a better chorister than bassist, I'm afraid 😄
