I picked it out myself – well sort of. Maybe it picked me.
It was orchestra tonight and once a year the group has its annual meeting. That will be next week. While Dean, our conductor, was getting ready, I overheard him say, "We’ll have to sell our basses"
My ears caught that remark. You see, I have been sort of keeping an eye out for a used bass to buy since last Christmas. The one I use is rented and it does not have the quality of sound that I would like a bass that I buy to have. So, I have just kept on renting and looking.
This just seems perfect. The bass he is selling is quite a beautiful instrument – a light honey brown and has nice sound.
A bass of my own!




Now you tell me Linea, how on earth are you going to play the recorder AND the bass on Sundays….well, I suppose there are ways, come to think of it. Just not at the same time….
A one woman band!
I once saw a busker play three recorders simultaneously (it was a polyphonic tune obviously). He played one with his mouth and the other two were played with his nostrils. So don’t limit yourself until you try it!
