Members jewbles Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 hey guys! i don't post all that often but i check in most every day. anyway, i just wanted to share the excitement of owning my first upright. i haven't played one since college about 7 years ago so i'm rather rusty. i guess that's why we practice... it's a romanian-made laminate with a huge sound and great growl. now i just need to figure out why they gave me a stick with hair on it. one last thing: anyone in the greensboro area should check out the bass violin shop. the two guys that run it are some of the nicest i've ever met and were more patient than a newb like myself warranted! all three of my beauties (sorry about the g****r ) yes, the upright is my only four stringer :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
