Even more warming up 🤩 it's great to have the hall, where you'll play soon a concert for a few moments alone, just for yourself ☺️

Although this beautiful old bass is my companion for almost 30 years, I will perform on it tomorrow for the first time as soloist with an orchestra. I use normaly my bass made 2000 by @high.derek which has an enormous sonic presence and lovely sound color. Derek High has restored this old bass several years ago (it was a massive restauration). The bass is older than 240 years and it had numerous not-so-well glued cracks on the front, so the shape of the arching wasn't anymore as it should be. Since Derek High restored the arching to 100% as it once was (by opening and re-doing perfectly crack by crack in the cast form) the instrument regained its full sound potential again.

The new is also usage of brand new, actual version of Tempera strings solo tuning (just the highest string) in combination with old, good, amazing Sonores gut strings by Gerold Genssler (I honestly don't even know how old these are... 7 to 10 years for sure) 🤩

Check out @miladdin here playing Vivaldi on our orchestra model 🔥 🔥 🔥

Fantastic percussive sound, clear and crisp attack for those quick passages. Let’s learn from the gut strings, the composer wrote this passage for them! That’s why we are always inspired by the traditional gut sound when we create a “modern string”.

We’re honestly overwhelmed by the response to HYBRID Oak.

The first batch sold out much faster than we expected.
Thank you to everyone who ordered, shared feedback, and reached out to us over the past days.

Because many of you told us you needed a bit more time to decide, we decided to keep the introductory price available until December 31st.

Please note that new orders are now pre-orders.
We’ve already started producing the next batches, but delivery will take a little longer.

Thank you for the trust and the incredible interest.
It really means a lot to us.

John Patitucci first came across our strings by chance.
They were on a bass he had borrowed for a concert, an early prototype, long before the official release.

After the concert, he called Jan-Ole and asked if he could try them on his own instrument.
We’re very grateful that John was among the first to try the new Oak strings and to share his feedback with us early on.

Thank you, John, for the trust and the kind words.
