I wonder if the Octobass gave Jesse Fuller the idea for a pedalled Fotdella?

It's been there for a few years at Sydney's marine terminal as a prop to welcome cruise ships,gnu. There is one about 10 or 12 feet long hanging above the stage at the Judique Community Centre but Sydney stole Judique's claim to the biggest by a wide margin. BTNG, if the Leafs can find the guy to match that stick perhaps I can still hope for another cup.

Sandy, thanks for that. I've actually seen that fiddle and bow, they belong to the same guy who Owns These

Ayep, I remember seeing it when performing at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Now that's a fiddle.

A rare portrayal of the sub-sub-contra-double-bass violin in action. We don't often get to see that. Thanks.
