Philip Smith: Quenoil Double Bass model

Small clip of my new double bass on its first day . Here it s being played by the wonderful Michael Fortescue.

The resonance and power in the E string, in particular, is superb at this early stage . I am very pleased with the colour and depth of sound of this instrument.

To discuss the commission of instruments please call 0422 945 752

Rabbath

Incredible concert on Sunday night at the Peacock Theatre.  It was a concert given by François Rabbath & Sylvain Rabbath in Hobart.  Here Francois Rabbath is pictured  using his new Philip Smith bow.

I have been dreaming of a moment like this for many years.  I can't believe it happened.

On his recent visit to Hobart Francois played an incredible concert with his son Sylvain Rabbath. Rabbath is pictured here using his new Philip Smith bow. I have been dreaming of a moment like this for many years. Can't believe it actually happened.
