  • A detailed view of a musician's hand delicately plucking the strings of his double bass. Our attention is on the architecture and parts of the bass: Its f-hole, the fingerboard, strings and bridge. The double bass, also called the string bass, upright bass, bass violin or contrabass, is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra. The double bass is a standard member of the string section of the symphony orchestra and smaller string ensembles in Western classical music. In addition, it is used in other genres such as jazz, 1950s-style blues and rock and rockabilly, traditional country music, bluegrass, tango and many types of folk music. The double bass is typically constructed from several types of wood, including maple for the back, spruce for the top, and ebony for the fingerboard.

  • Schoolboys from the City of London School play string instruments during a public performance of classical music. The young orchestra is performing at St. James Garlickhythe, a city of London church redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren after its destruction in 1666. Showing great concentration and passion for their music, the violinists and cellists play with great skill for such young players. We see their copyrighted sheet music attached to the stands, guiding them through the classical pieces listened to by an unseen audience. There is a slight blurring to arms and hands as their bows pass over the bridges of their instruments. <br />
