Jeff Bradetich plays Bottesini Elegy on Solano Bass


Here’s another video of Jeff Bradetich playing on a Rumano Solano bass (a copy of Jeff’s 1767 Italian bass), this time performing the Bottesini Elegy. Check out Jeff on Contrabass Conversations if you haven’t previously!

About the bass, Jeff says:

“The Rumano Solano copy of my 1767 Italian double bass is remarkable in many ways. The sound quality has innate characteristics very similar to my bass with a full, deep, rich and clear sound. It also has a projection and clarity of sound that is stunning. It fills a 1,000 seat auditorium as well as any instrument I have ever heard or played. The instrument also has an ease of playing that makes even the most difficult passages accessible.”

~ Jeff Bradetich

    That´s a great instrument, but I´ve been wondering about the price…It looks expensive. How much it cost? and: where can I get one in Florida area?
