Milwaukee Symphony and Grant Park Symphony cellist Peter Szczepanek sent me a link to this video featuring Stringfever playing Bolero. The thing is…they’re all playing it on one cello! Amazing. Now let’s see a bass quartet do the same thing. That gives me an idea…..

Interesting. I wonder what composition for the double bass quartet would be feasible for four person to play on one double bass. If you know, please give me some guidance. Thanks.
