[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1360766649' post='1976127'] Some good stuff on the video ....but, did I see right just after 6.30s a template where Ken's 'orchestral' setting is a low flat arch and his 'jazz' setting is a higher more curved arch? I would have thought that , orchestral players would ask for the higher bridge setting for volume and the greater curve for string separation ( for ease of bowing and to avoid inadvertent double stopping !) ... and that for jazz players a flatter curve and lower string height is desirable ( unless you need to thump out the sound !). ...interesting !! [/quote] A flatter bridge is typically preferred for double stops. But as Ken says, not everyone agrees with this and it comes down to player preference

I made this video as my luthier worked on my newly-acquired EH Roth double bass.

Enjoy! Best, Darren
