    Retired middle school orchestra director here. When our school had a sewage leak, Villanova University graciously gave us space. But they gave the orchestra a room three flights up - with no elevator. You should have seen the looks on my bass players' faces.

    Kolstein for orchestra, Pops for solo! We have to practice 3 days straight to accomplish what a violinist does in an hour.

    This is so true. The bass section when I was in high school was so crap. I was guy in the video telling everyone that they should be practicing. Also, stairs never were a problem for me.

      Just because you don't practice because your music is awfully easy doesn't mean your bad lol.

      I used Nyman.
      Recently I can't find any Nyman around, so I just use Pirastro Cello rosin
      (this is the rosin that I could find at the time, it's for emergency; others were for violin, what the hell) oh no...
      I'm gonna try Pirastro Oliv-Evah rosin if there is no double bass rosin around...
      I heard good reviews about them from a double bassist...
      I'm gonna to hunt for Kolstein as my next rosin =D
