Jason Heath’s Double Bass Blog

Butler University bass professor David Murray (one of the bassists featured on this weekend’s Contrabass Conversations episode) recently passed along this request from double bassist Karna Mason.  She’s doing a study on playing-related pain in double bassists and is looking for folks to fill out a survey to help with this study.  Here’s the info:

My name is Karna Mason and I study double bass at Malmö Academy of Music, Sweden. I’m writing a thesis about Ergonomics and Double bass playing and would be very thankful if you could help me by answering a few questions over the internet. It’s about the prevalence of playing-related pain in double bassists. It will only take you 5 minutes to complete. Participation is of course voluntary, but I would very much appreciate your help. It will be answered anonymously so I will not be able to se who answered.
