Excellent

Dude, Colin?? This popped up on my feed haha! It’s Ben. I went to middle school with you at Belzer. I played violin. Me, you and Ryan (cello guy) used to hang out together.

Could you add the references ? :) where are these excerpts from ? Thanks

Nice

❤I love the sound of the bass and when it is played well it is even better.

My birthday song! Obrigada, Hermeto ♡

Vou considerar que 21 é 22! 😅 Amei! Gratidão!

Very impressive articulation Whats with other ?

thank you ❤

Quite different qualities but both very good-sounding instruments! To me, the Jakstadt is less dense (less complex?) so it sounds clearer than the Hill. To be fair, its tone is probably benefiting more from this reverberant acoustic than the Hill. I have a similar choice of instruments and agree with how you divide duties between each. There's no doubt simpler sounding, strong and clear basses perform very well in auditions. For ensemble playing, I imagine the thicker, more complicated but still clear tone of the Hill is better. Nice that you have two good options to work with! 👏👏👏

Man those english basses sound to me like wooden ships if a ship could make a sound. Like the sound of thunder. I have a set up like you one modern and one English. Interesting comparison. Nice playing!!

Beautiful!

Very interesting experiment! May be a little 2 much natural reverb for me (But it is nice and a lot of fun to play in a space like that I must admit!)- but it also brings up the whole issue of playing Bach on the bass. It's so hard to make it sing because we don't have the same harmonic color of / that the cello gives, and because it's in such a high register it's technically very difficult and not as resonate as the lower registers that the bass is so good at. As such both of these basses to me sound a little chocked - I'm thinking there are possibly 3 reasons for this. 1 string height - are they are set up as orchestral instruments? string height may be a bit much to get the upper register to sing, also some times finger board set up can effect the higher register 2 string type it might be worth experimenting with solo or lighter gauge strings - may be tuned to orchestral pitch? Also bridge height - and or a paired back bridge like Joel Quarrington's may help to get the instrument to sing a little more. It's so valuable to play Bach on the bass - because it presents so many, many challenges and to do it very well - is insanely difficult. Thank you for putting this out (it's over 30 years since I've played) there is no way I cold play like this without a couple of years - probably more of practice so I do really appreciate your effort and skill - would love to hear something from both basses in the lower register - maybe something modern (Walker - Chorale) do you do requests? 🙂 Anyway thanks for putting up with my ranting and would love to hear more.

The Jackstadt has a more precise sound to it. It's definitely a brighter sounding bass, but the clarity is quite amazing! I'm not quite able to see the strings on each bass. Silks look like Bel Canto or Flexocor Deluxes on each bass. Also curious on the string lengths/measurements on each. The Hill bass sounds like it would be a subwoofer in the low/middle range of the bass! All subjective, but those are my thoughts!

Pretty nice tone. Bowing is smooth too.

0:50

2:27 is great with 2x playback speed.

Good concept! should explore more. hope my sub to you helps.

wow, B extension!

Не зупиняйся, в тебе є гарні ідеї й своє дивне та особисте відчуття звуку. З часом буде вийде щось круте

Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

Super !

Hello what piece is the excerpt at 4:56 from?

Dude, your sound is INCREDIBLE. I don't know I've ever heard that much control sound so effortless before. Can I grow up to play like you?

Sounds mighty fine, Colin!!!🎻

I love your vibrato

One of my life long roadblocks has been not knowing what a winning audition candidate sounds like. Thank you for setting the bar

how long have you been playing for?

You have such an awesome sound

I need to look into these etudes! Beautiful playing as always, Colin!

Amazing!🎵💯

Bravo, Colin!! ❤

Only 800 subscribed? Madness. Such a great channel

I think you're going to win this audition. watch your Figaro though. It sounds a little angry in the Fortes

These etudes are beastly. Very strong playing, Colin! 👏👏

Dude, you're going to win this thing

Great sound! Will you have to bring your own cleaner to crash the audition, or does the opera supply one for the applicants?

Nicely done. Musically a bit dense to listen to sometimes, but I return to these etudes from time to time.

Beautiful. What piece is this?

could you also do September 19th please 😊

Lovely

Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Can I request January 18th? That’s my birthday 😋 if not I understand, I’m sure it’s a lot of work to record these things!! Thank you for recording these! It’s pretty fascinating 😊

Woww, that was so clean 👏👏👏
