Thomas' s violin blog

In silvis viva silui, canora jam mortua cano.

In the forest, I lived in silence; now in death I sing sweetly.

Hello, my double bass was stolen on 9th february 2016 between Frankfurt/Paris/Lyon. It was made by Bernardel/ Plumerel in 1841. Thanks for sharing and help me to find it.

it is written on a exterior rib : “ Paris , l'an 1841, Bernardel luthier rue croix des petits champs n°23, fait pour Achille Gouffé de l'académie royale de musique”

There is a signature on the back inside of the instrument near endpin “PLUMEREL à PARIS” There is some EUDOXA strings and plain gut strings. Mooradian deluxe cover color grey White Flight case (looks like a cello BAM case)

Thanks a lot

What happens when two baroque cellists perform a cover of “Thunderstruck" by AC/DC? They shred. Literally. Keep an eye on their bows as the piece progresses.

This awesome video features Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, aka 2Cellos, playing their phenomenal “BaRock style” arrangement of the hard rock classic for a completely bewildered 17th century audience. The concept is wonderful, but the actual performance is astonishing.
