Applying the Rabbath technique to Bottesini - Hans Sturm video part 4
International Society of Bassists President and Ball State University Bass Professor Hans Sturm and I got together recently and filmed a chat about the Rabbath left hand position technique. Hans does a great job explaining the concepts behind this technique, and I hope that folks out there will benefit from this video. It is also located in the Bass Blog Video Player in the sidebar, and you can check it out on YouTube here. You can always hear our three-part interview with Rabbath on his Contrabass Conversations page. Check out the first part of this video here, second part here, and third part here.
If playback doesn’t work for the video below on your computer, either visit the YouTube link above or view it in the bass blog video player in the sidebar.

Wow! Jason. Hello from Australia! I’m so happy to have found you. I play double bass and have a wonderful ninety year old German instrument. I attended a Rabbath master class in Adelaide a few years ago. Francois prefers to play in the morning and in his underwear!
I don’t play pro - but when younger trained to do so then went into teaching due to lack of work. I now produce radio here in Brisbane.
I intend to practice from his third book for the rest of my days. I don’t need any other composer.
