Franz Simandl. Franz Simandl (August 1, 1840 – December 15, 1912) was a double-bassist and pedagogue from Austria-Hungary most remembered for his book New Method for String Bass, known as the "Simandl book", which is to this day used as a standard study of double bass technique and hand positions.
The history of the double bass is tightly coupled to the development of string technology, as it was the advent [6] of overwound gut strings, which first rendered the instrument more generally practicable, as wound or overwound strings attain low notes within a smaller overall string diameter than non-wound strings. [18]
String instruments can also produce multiphonic tones when strings are bowed or hammered (as in piano multiphonics) between the harmonic nodes. This works best on larger instruments like double bass and cello. [1] Another technique involves the rotational oscillation mode of the string, which might be twisted to adjust the rotational tension.
When cello or double bass players are playing a high-register passage in thumb position, the thumb may be replaced with a finger if there is a sustained note which would otherwise have to be played with the thumb, because the vibrato with the thumb sounds different from finger vibrato. The bony side of the thumb cannot produce the same type of ...
Bass instruction books often teach thumb position by having the player place the left-hand thumb on the high (one-lined) G note. In this same position, notes below the G can also be played. By barring the thumb across the G and D strings, the G and D notes can be played in quick succession. Alternatively, notes on the D string can be performed ...
The term false fingering is used in instruments such as woodwinds, brass, and stringed instruments where different fingerings can produce the same note, but where the timbre or tone quality is distinctly different from each other. If the tone quality is not distinctly different between the two notes, the term alternate fingering is often used ...
In music, a double stop is the technique of playing two notes simultaneously on a stringed instrument such as a violin, a viola, a cello, or a double bass. On instruments such as the Hardanger fiddle it is common and often employed. In performing a double stop, two separate strings are bowed or plucked simultaneously.
It may be the case that the double-bass is tuned in fourths so that the fingering-hand doesn't have to move up and down the neck so much (tuning in fourths makes a note accessible on a higher string before rising up the next so much, which on a cello is no big deal while on the double-bass it is my belief that the order of fretting (not that ...
