Iowa City double bass luthier Chris Thelkreld-Wiegend recently brought a new bass he had completed to Chicago for folks to check out. It’s a small bass–more like a 5/8 size than a 3/4 size, which is an interesting departure for Chris. I share my thoughts on this new bass in this short clip (1 min 40 sec).
