Duets with, er… yourself
Lyric Opera of Chicago bassist (and Contrabass Conversations guest) Greg Sarchet sent me a link to what is pretty much the greatest bass video of all time.

This is actually quite well-executed, with both bass and melody line fingerings worked out to complement each other. He must have had to practice ‘holding’ that German bow quite a bit–I know that I would be bowing all over the place!
