4 or 5 String: Discussion with George Martin

In this video, George Martin talks us through the differences between four- and five-string double basses and why the five-string variety has become more popular in recent years. We learn how the playing experience of a five-string instrument has changed due to advances in set-up, and we take a look at a recently-converted instrument to understand how this is achieved.
